Cheeky promise with Saucy Songs At Sunset

Simon Gray Presents returns to the Brighton Open Air Theatre on Friday, July 24 at 7pm with Saucy Songs At Sunset.

Simon Gray said: “Saucy Songs At Sunset is a deliciously naughty evening of songs packed with sass, sparkle and more double entendre than a row of seaside postcards.

“The show features a cast of experienced musical theatre singers performing songs from musicals plus songs by some of our best loved comedy writers including Victoria Wood, Fascinating Aida, Richard Stilgoe and Tim Minchin.

“Songs featured come from a wide range of musical theatre shows from the Golden Age through to the most contemporary musicals. Many of the songs contain strong language and adult themes so this show not for the faint-hearted! But perfect for anyone who likes their music with a generous splash of sauce!

“Cast members include Antony Reed, who has appeared in many West End musicals including Kinky Boots, The Entertainer, and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory; Karen Orchin, perhaps better known for her appearances in opera with Regency Opera and English Festival Opera; Eleanor Lakin, who played Dorothy in the West End production of Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, and has worked globally as a lead vocalist on Celebrity Cruises. Other cast members include Tabitha Morrison, Claire Dixon, Sunny Carter, Katie Mules and Toby Chapman.

“We are delighted to announce that our special guest hosts for this event will be PEARL and DEAN, the Brighton-based critically-acclaimed high-camp comedy and cabaret double act. Self-proclaimed as the most heterosexual couple in showbiz, the couple will guide the audience through the programme introducing all the songs and the performers and perhaps throwing in some outrageous celebrity gossip along the way.”

The show is devised by Simon Gray who leads from the piano.
