The Thing and I
Lily is an underachieving nightclub singer, who has dreams of stardom, but fails to make the cut at auditions.
Suddenly her career is revitalised as two of her rivals meet with unexpected deaths, and she is in line for the fame she desires most. Is fate lending her a hand, or is it someone closer to home?
Evelyn McLean plays the female roles; David Martin plays her accompanist and would be lover as well as other male roles. The pair perform songs by the likes of Alicia Keys, Tom Lehrer Stephen Sondheim and Christina Aguilera during this hour long musical romp.
It was a show I thoroughly enjoyed, and wish I'd had time to attend the sequel using songs written this time by Mr Martin, that follows their progress and immediately after this show. I'm trying to make time in my schedule to see the sequel called Gangrene and Grapes.
