AUDIENCE REVIEWS
"A breathtaking performance in an idyllic venue."
"Charlie-Jade is a very versatile soprano and this adaptation of Marni Nixon's life story was beautifully performed."
"It takes a singer to know a singer; and certainly to sing in tribute to the talented Marni Nixon. Charlie-Jade Jones has the voice to sing Nixon’s songs and tell her story. The show includes the songs that Nixon sang for the stars of ‘The King and I’, ‘Westside Story’ and ‘My Fair Lady’, but also the classical repertoire Nixon sang in her own name, such as Copland’s ‘Heart, we will forget him’. Whatever your musical preferences, there will be songs you already love and new ones to hear in this enchanting show.
