West End performers bringing hits from the shows to Leighton Buzzard for one-off event
Two West End performers are bringing hits from the shows to Leighton Buzzard Library Theatre this week for one night only.
Broadway Baby, which is coming to the Library Theatre on Friday, February 27, features Alison Carter, who lives in Heath and Reach, and fellow actor Stephen Weller performing hits from Broadway and West End musicals.
The show, which includes favourites from musicals including Les Miserables, Chicago, Wicked, Mamma Mia and Phantom of the Opera is being held in Leighton Buzzard in a bid to make top theatre shows accessible to a wider audience.
Alison, who is also producing the show told the LBO: "I want to take the show to small venues and arts centres around the country in order to reach audiences who are unable to see shows in the West End or No.1 Theatres due to distance or prices."
Alison and Stephen first met as original cast members of The Producers, when the show was enjoying a run at Drury Lane theatre in London.
Between them they have performed all over the world in several well-known musicals, with Alison saying: "The audience can expect a glittering musical theatre showcase of hits from some of the greatest musicals ever written.
"They are all being performed with powerhouse vocals and infectious personalities and should provide an unforgettable evening of stunning performances, wrapped in stylish elegance."
Tickets are available now for Broadway Baby priced at £17.50 for adults or £15 for concessions and under-16s.
Doors open at 6.45pm with the show getting underway at 7.30pm.
