CABARET TONIGHT IN LONDON: ANNE REID IN A NEW KEY AT THE CRAZY COQS
Anne Reid, one of Britain's most-loved and respected actors, will perform at THE CRAZY COQS AT BRASSERIE ZEDEL (20 Sherwood St, Piccadilly, London W1F 7ED - 020 7734 4888) on Tuesday through Saturday, March 25th through 29th at 8:30 pm. Anne was the star of the very popular Last Tango in Halifax, Ladies of Letters, Dinnerladies and Coronation Street. What is less well known is her life as a cabaret performer. Following her sell out debut shows at The Crazy Coqs in 2013, she returns with her show IN A NEW KEY, a beautifully crafted programme of song, nostalgia and humour. Telling backstage stories of the vagaries of touring, meeting the Royal family, playing in Dr Who with David Tennant and describing the eccentricities of her fellow performers, Anne sings songs and ballads from a varied assortment of songwriters ranging from Billy Joel, Don McLean, Stephen Sondheim, Sheldon Harnick and Diana Morgan, all the way to Hoagy Carmichael, and Johnny Mercer. Ever since she was memorably electrocuted by a hair dryer in the early days of Coronation Street, Anne Reid has been a familiar figure to audiences everywhere in her many roles on television, stage and screen. Only recently has she branched out into musicals, with roles in Stephen Sondheim's Into the Woods at the Royal Opera House and Cole Porter's Out of This World in Chichester. Reid, whose voice is perhaps more Mary Martin than Ethel Merman, is as versatile a cabaret artist as she is an actress and with timing that is the equal of any stand-up comic's. Anne is accompanied by her musical director and award-winning pianist Stuart Hutchinson. Call for cover/minimum information.
