Show Details
This wonderfully funny, incredibly moving play tells the story of a shy, reclusive girl named Little Voice, who lives with her mother Mari - larger than life and definitely out of control.
Desperately missing her dead father, Little Voice spends her time locked in her bedroom listening to his old record collection and perfecting astonishing impersonations of famous divas, including Shirley Bassey, Marilyn Monroe, Judy Garland and Dusty Springfield.
When Mari starts dating small-time club agent Ray Say, she thinks he's her last chance for a better life. When Ray hears Little Voice sing, he thinks she's a star and his long-awaited ticket to the big time. But what about Little Voice? Well she just wants a normal life. And to be loved...
Not everyone is going to get what they want.
Starring award winning actress Lesley Sharp (TV's Clocking Off and Bob and Rose), charismatic Marc Warren (BBC's Hustle and Life on Mars) and introducing X-Factor finalist Diana Vickers as Little Voice in her West End debut. The Rise and Fall of Little Voice is written by multi-award winning playwright Jim Cartwright, and is directed by Terry Johnson (La Cage aux Folles, Rain Man, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest).It won both the Evening Standard and Olivier Awards for Best Comedy in 1992, so don't miss this sparkling and hugely entertaining new production at the Vaudeville Theatre from 8 October.
