Songs from a Hotel Bedroom: It is 1949 in a stylish and sophisticated post-war New York. Cabaret singer Angélique (Frances Ruffelle) relives the memories of her brief but passionate love affair with songwriter Dan (Nigel Richards), reflecting upon how her life has changed through the highs and lows, their joys, ambitions, travels and separation. This exciting new piece of music theatre unfolds through the bittersweet love songs of Kurt Weill’s American repertoire (including September Song, Speak Low and I’m A Stranger Here Myself) and the sensuous mischief of tango dance. The show stars Frances Ruffelle and Nigel Richards. Frances is best known as the original Eponine in Les Miserables, for which she won a Tony Award, as well as for Chicago and Starlight Express. Nigel’s credits include Phantom of the Opera,  Martin Guerre and Spend, Spend, Spend. Also featuring dancers Tara Pilbrow and Amir Giles and a 7-piece live band led by Musical Director James Holmes. The production was conceived by choreographer Kate Flatt (Les Miserables; Doctor Faustus, Young Vic; Three Sisters, National Theatre -an associate artist of SEGUE and a Watford Palace Theatre Creative Associate) and is Directed and Written by Kate and Peter Rowe, Artistic Director of the New Wolsey Theatre.
