Gertrude Lawrence: A Lovely Way To Spend An Evening

Gertrude Lawrence was one of Britain’s brightest theatrical stars during the first half of the 20th century. A charismatic stage presence who excelled in sophisticated musical comedy.

Gertrude Lawrence: A Lovely Way to Spend an Evening is the latest collaboration between superbly gifted actor and singer, Lucy Stevens & pianist Elizabeth Marcus.This show with music tells her story: funny, revealing and full of songs from London’s variety theatre. 

Drawn from Gertie’s memoir ‘A Star Danced’ and packed with hits written for her by Coward, Gershwin, Kurt Weill and Rodgers & Hammerstein, Stevens’ portrayal of this feisty theatre star is mesmerising – bringing the audience to laughter and tears in a funny, moving, uplifting show.  The live accompaniment from pianist Elizabeth Marcus brings us the real musical theatre experience as we journey through the life of this 20^th century super star.

Recently returned from the Edinburgh Fringe with a ‘Highly Recommended’ and 5 star reviews, Gertrude Lawrence:– A Lovely Way to Spend an Evening is a show  not to be missed.
