We're really pleased with this morning's review in The Times!
“…And in this revue they (the songs) often prove not just durable but delectable.”
“…the evening offers its selection like a string of pearls…the overall effect is smooth, elegant entertainment.”
“Shrubsole’s piano playing and musical direction are both impeccable and witty, his control of the four-strong band precise yet loose-limbed, and the singers – Maria Friedman, Graham Bickley, Mary Carewe and Tim Howar alongside Green – deliver renditions as intelligent and accomplished as you would expect from a crew of such established talent.”
“Carewe gives a powerful torch-song version of It Never Entered My Mind.”
“Fans will come for the pleasures of the familiar, and won’t be disappointed: but it’s the darker, more unexpected moments that make it memorable.”
About Me
- Cadogan Hall
- Sloane Terrace, London, United Kingdom
- Cadogan Hall is a 900 seat concert venue set in the heart of Chelsea, two minutes walk from Sloane Square tube station and one stop away from Victoria. Sing for Your Supper, from 5th - 9th August, starring Maria Friedman, Mary Carewe, Graham Bickley, Tim Howar and Simon Green will be a classy revue of the work of Rodgers and Hart. This will be the third year running that Cadogan Hall has produced its own musical revues and, by result, the hall has gained an excellent reputation for high-quality performances of works by composers best-known for stage productions. In 2007 Good Thing Going got rave reviews and last year’s Cole Porter revue, A Swell Party, was loved equally by audience and critics. Both productions had an outstanding cast of performers who return once again to work together on Sing for Your Supper. For shows of this kind where the lyrics and expressions of the singers are paramount the intimacy and crisp acoustic of Cadogan Hall are perfect.
