Sue
Kelvin and Michael Roulston present 'Sophie Tucker's One Night Stand'.
The original Red Hot Mamma Sophie Tucker was big bold and brassy, she
was an icon of American show business at the start of the 20th century.
Her career spanned six decades and she was still working the cabaret
scene at the age of 82.
Sue
Kelvin has plaid in many musicals she has appeared in several TV shows
and films. She recently plaid Mama Morton on stage in the West End in
Chicago, a role that is supposedly based on Sophie Tucker. Sue has a
large persona and amazing stage presence to go with her phenomenal
voice. Seemingly totally at home as Ms Tucker, she gives us a superb
performance.
Michael
Roulston is a busy chap playing for the shows ‘Dusty Limits – Is
heartless’ and in ‘Confessions of a Paralysed Porn Star’. This
time he gets to act and sing.
The
more mature Fringe goer will probably get more out of this very
enjoyable show, but anyone who appreciates good music well performed and
with an interesting story cant fail to enjoy this.
