STAGESTAR GIG - 'CABARET' |
|
|
|
On Sunday 2nd March 2003, the organisation
'Stagestar' held their second concert, entitled 'Cabaret' at 'The Kabaret
Club' in Soho. Amongst other West End stars including David Shannon
and Krysten Cummings, Hannah performed a 30 minute section live on
stage. I was one of the lucky ones who got to be at the show that
day and this page has my review and the pictures I took
there. |
|
|
|
I must firstly point out that the venue for this
show was superb, it was a tiny place which made the whole event feel
somewhat cosy and intimate, giving the audience a sense of connection with
the performers. The atmosphere inside was simply
fantastic |
|
It must also be stated, that although this page
will focus on Hannah's performance, everyone performed brilliantly that
night and it must be said that I was very impressed by the amount of
talent I saw from the everyone. |

Hannah was last to perform, it had been a long
wait and her arrival on stage was eagerly awaited but the audience were
not disappointed. She had obviously given the performance much
thought and as she came up on stage, the crowd, consisting of some WWRY
cast members, gave her a huge welcome. Hannah
kicked off her act with Alicia Keys' 'Fallin' and sang it
superbly. |
|

This was followed up by her rendition of a song
she used to sing when she was part of the cast for 'All You Need Is Love'
after she had explained to the audience that she had once won an award (as
part of the cast) for being in the worst musical of all time!! She
also explained that although she had won the 'Whats on Stage' award for
Best Actress in a Musical she had never actually received any such trophy
and so she had brought her own which she pulled from her
bag. |

Next came Hannah's performance "24 hours of
loving" The basic idea was that it was about
the different hours you go through when you spend a passionate 24 hours
together with someone. |

Next came a song about feminism (called "50%" I
think). Hannah pointed out that she liked the song and joked that of
course women are victimised. She sang the song very well and kept
the crowd amused with her witticisms. |

Hannah went on to perform a very touching song
next. It was a song with a story attatched about a woman dying with
nobody to love her and what she imagined someone who did love her might
say to her before she died. Hannah explained that it was a very
demanding song and was clearly moved by the end. |

Hannah introduced the audience to one of her best
friends, Michael, whom she met whilst performing in 'Hot Stuff'. Hannah finished off her set with two
songs. The first was one she wrote herself about love, and the way
she imagines it feels to be so deeply in love with someone as a couple of
people she knows. The last was a song about being a Londoner as she
wanted to let everyone know how much she loves being one!! Overall,
a fanstastic evening and a fantastic performance!! |
