This evening’s star-studded show gets under the skin of Weill’s creations, bringing you a bewitching compilation of songs from some of his most popular works.
It encompasses not only the Brecht-Weill era of 1920’s Berlin but also the more upbeat and nostalgic songs from his Broadway period. Broadway and West End stars Mary Carewe and Walter Van Dyk are joined by a quartet of musicians led by international soloist Anthony Marwood. Having watched a previous performance Joanna Lumley commented: 'O Moon of Alabama is an entrancing show, the evening was an unmitigated triumph. The songs are performed with beauty and skill, heart-breaking, scary, funny in turn. I was bewitched throughout. This is what cabaret should be!'.
