Two Turtle Doves!

Join two of international cabaret’s grandest dames, Dillie Keane and Barb Jungr, as they jump giblets first into the festive season.

In 2021 these two cabaret queens joined forces to perform side-by-side and proved that this is an evening not to be mistletoed. They had so much fun they decided to do it again, and are thrilled to be bringing it to Wilton’s.

Featuring songs by Tom Waits, Ray Davies, The Chipmunks and Joni Mitchell, plus a hilarious take on The Twelve Days of Christmas, this is not standard Christmas fare. You’ll want second helpings of this pudding for sure.

Dillie Keane is the founding member of the legendary Fascinating Aïda and has played in pretty much every theatre in the country and beyond. Barb Jungr is known worldwide for her work on Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen’s songs, and as a radical interpreter of the New American Songbook. Dillie and Barb will be accompanied by the wonderful Michael Roulston on piano, known for his brilliant and sensitive accompaniment to Fascinating Aïda, Meow Meow, Christine Bovill and Sarah-Louise Young amongst others.

A brilliant festive night out full of glorious harmonies, musicality, emotion, and a great big dollop of daft fun!

MUSIK – Starring Frances Barber

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!”
Daily Mail
★★★★

Kate Butch – Wuthering Shites

Presented by Lee Martin for Gag Reflex

Join the ‘great comedian‘ (WhatsOnStage) as she runs up that hill, with stand-up comedy, live vocals, lip sync extravanganzas and more cloudbusting than you can shake a stick at.
