Blues in the Night: Sharon D Clarke and Clive Rowe

[zahidf]

As part of the new Kilburn theatre season

'A man is a two-face, a worrisome thing who’ll leave you to sing, the blues in the night.

The Olivier and Tony Award nominated musical sees its first major London revival in 30 years. Directed by Susie McKenna and starring Olivier Award winners Sharon D. Clarke (Caroline or Change, Ghost, Amen Corner) and Clive Rowe (Guys and Dolls, Carousel), Blues in the Night is a scorching compilation of 26 hot and torchy blues numbers that frame the lives and loves of four residents of a downtown hotel. Featuring soul-filled songs by blues and jazz icons Bessie Smith, Duke Ellington, Johnny Mercer, Harold Arlen and many more, this will be a sizzling night to remember.'

Saw this show at the Hackney Empire only few years ago. It’s an OK excuse to dig out some great songs and that’s a top class pairing.

Devised by Sheldon Epps. That name bugged me until I discovered he’d been a writer on Frazier.

Was wondering why I’d never heard of this theatre, turns out the Tricycle has been renamed.

Saw a touring production of this years ago. Seem to remember there's no actual plot - just the performers sitting in separate hotel rooms singing the songs.
