Other highlights include two multi-award winning jazz singers, Liane Carroll and Claire Martin brought together for the first time ever in their brand new show DOUBLE STANDARDS. They are followed by the return of Tony Bennett’s favourite singer, Allan Harris. In the last week of the month the Festival of Cabaret kicks off with singer-song writer Ann Hampton Callaway in the premiere of her new show FEMININE PERSUASION celebrating women songwriters who excel at the craft, including Peggy Lee, Carolyn Lee, Dorothy Fields, Carole King, Joni Mitchell and Adele. Continuing the festival comes the cabaret legend Amanda McBroom with her magical mix of anecdote, humour and song in UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL.
During May treats include the raconteur, singer songwriter Judy Carmichael, followed by the ex-Joffrey Ballet principle, now singing star, Christian Holder with songs by Burt Bacharach, Phil Spector and Smokey Robinson. Welsh singer Judith Owen debuts her new album SOMEBODY’S CHILD and the month is rounded off by Rat Pack star Gary Williams with his show HOLLYWOOD SWINGS.

One of theatre’s great innovations in recent years has been the filming of hit productions, enabling us to enjoy them on screen after they've finished their runs in live venues.
