After my last extravaganza I had such lovely feedback so I was thrilled to be able to do another special musical theatre show for Phoenix FM.
I spoke to the wonderful West End Star Joseph Prouse about his career to date, played some lovely show tunes, and also had lots of requests!
Actors Mark Benton, Lewis Griffiths, Gracie Reynolds and David Ribi all suggested shows and songs to play.
Plus theatre buffs Sue Longshaw, Louise Kean-Wood, Helen Sweet, Julie Tillin, Clare Ramsay and David Pettit also requested some great songs, thanks for your suggestions.
BEAUTIFUL is the untold story of Carole King’s journey from schoolgirl to superstar; from her relationship with husband and song-writing partner Gerry Goffin, their close friendship and playful rivalry with fellow song-writing duo Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil, to her remarkable rise to stardom. NOW PLAYING AT THE ALDWYCH THEATRE with Katie Brayben as Carole King. Details from www.beautifulmusical.co.uk
