MUSIK by Jonathan Harvey and Pet Shop Boys
Starring Frances Barber
Billie Trix. Icon. Rock star. Screen goddess. Drug addict. Billie has lived a life of excess and shares it all in her new one-woman show. Her journey takes us from post-war Berlin to the rock arenas of the world, via the Vietnam war, Andy Warhol’s Factory, and 10 years in a Soho Square phone box. A stunning performance by Frances Barber as Billie Trix, returning to the unforgettable larger-than-life character she first created in the 2001 West End musical Closer to Heaven, with an outrageous script by Jonathan Harvey (Beautiful Thing, Coronation Street) and six original songs by Pet Shop Boys.
“Mesmeric Frances Barber delivers barbed one-liners, banging songs and beautifully crafted subversion”
Edinburgh Evening News
★★★★★
“A powerfully theatrical piece designed to smack you in the gob and boy, does Jonathan Harvey have the perfect gob-smacker in Frances Barber! A not-be-missed totally immersing experience by one of the great stage performers of our time. Blown away just doesn’t cover it!”
Londontheatre1
★★★★★
“The script is one long cocaine-and-Jack-Daniels-fuelled stream of consciousness that Frances Barber puts absolutely everything into. She is simply staggering”
Attitude magazine
★★★★
“This is a show destined to fall into cult classic status and cements Frances Barber as one of theatre’s most versatile performers”
Metro
★★★★
“Spinal Tap meets Andy Warhol with Frances Barber as Billie Trix, a fictional 1960s Berlin-born singer with Forrest Gump’s talent for encountering key moments in cultural history, and beautifully disturbing songs by Pet Shop Boys”
The Sunday Times
★★★★
“Frances Barber shines as a faded star trying to re-visit former glories. You wouldn’t want her in your life, but an hour with Billie Trix and her celebrity-strewn bile is a blast!”
The List
★★★★
“Frances Barber as Billie Trix looks like something that has risen from a coffin: eye make-up total cosmetic carnage. Needless to say it’s in the worst possible linguistic taste and it’s a refreshing blast of vitality!”
