Tell Me On A Sunday
By Andrew Lloyd Webber & Don Black
Wed 8 & Thurs 9 Sept, 7.30pm
Claire Sweeney stars in Andrew Lloyd Webber and Don Black’s masterpiece of Musical Theatre.
A rare opportunity to see Andrew Lloyd Webber and Don Black’s Tell Me On A Sunday. Now remodeled for Claire Sweeney by the masters of musical theatre, with an exclusive new song I Still Believe in Love, this is the definitive version of the classic musical for 2010.
Originally conceived for television starring Marti Webb, Tell Me On A Sunday has been performed by legendary musical theatre stars Sarah Brightman, Lulu and Denise Van Outen. Now Claire Sweeney takes on this celebrated role which features a wonderful score and the chart topping hit Take That Look Off Your Face, Unexpected Song and the title track Tell Me On a Sunday.
Tell Me On A Sunday charts the romantic misadventures of a young English girl newly arrived in New York. Brimming with optimism, she seeks success, companionship and love. But as she weaves her way through the maze of the city and her own anxieties, frustrations and heartaches, she begins to wonder whether - in fact - she's been looking for love in all the wrong places.
Andrew Lloyd Webber’s numerous awards include 7 Tonys, 3 Grammys, 7 Oliviers, a Golden Globe, an Oscar, 2 Emmys and the Richard Rodgers Award for Excellence in Musical Theatre. Don Black is an Oscar winning lyrist (Born Free) and penned numerous James Bond theme tunes, and chart hits Michael Jackson’s Ben and Lulu’s To Sir With Love.
"a song cycle by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Don Black that combines elements of celebrity fall-out and Sex & The City. There is no one writing stuff as good as this in modern mucial theatre" Daily Express
