Miss Hope Springs brings her fabulous one-woman show to Wilton’s Music Hall in August.
The award-winning international cabaret star is no stranger to the bright lights of Hollywood. Her show is full to bursting with all-original, witty and moving self-penned songs and hilarious tales from her glitteringly disastrous life.
Still wearing the sequins in which she left the Pink Pelican Casino in 1972, Hope will showcase her unique blend of finger snapping pop, romantic rhumbas, sassy bossa novas and smouldering torch songs, all performed by her live at the piano, accompanied by her Hot Jazz Combo on sizzling percussion and throbbing double bass.
Her ‘Ritz to the pits’ fall from grace provides the backdrop for her laugh-out-loud-move-you-to-tears performance, truly marking this ex-Vegas showgirl turned nightclub chanteuse out as the capital’s biggest cabaret sensation.
Hope is the creation of Ty Jeffries, whose towering blonde alter-ego came into being after a fascinating childhood rubbing shoulders with Hollywood royalty such as Fred Astaire and Shirley MacLaine, walking the catwalks in Milan and Paris as a teen and spending time on film sets with his father, the much loved actor and director Lionel Jeffries.
All these experiences helped to create and mould the irrepressible Miss Hope Springs, whose shows have received rave reviews at top cabaret hotspots from London to New York.
Dubbed tragi-comic genius by fan Julian Clary and as exquisitely funny and remarkably engaging by The Stage, Miss Hope Springs is one sparkling showgirl that you definitely don’t want to miss.
Wilton’s Music Hall is a gem in the heart of London and the oldest grand music hall in the world. It presents a year round programme of exceptional live music and world-class productions alongside learning and participation work that engages the local community and schools. The Grade 2 Star listed building recently completed a 4 year capital project with support from Heritage Lottery Fund and numerous trusts and individuals. This project, designed by Tim Ronalds Architects recently won the RIBA London Award 2016, RIBA London Conservation Award 2016 and RIBA London Building Of The Year 2016.
