VIDEO: Britt Lenting Duets With Samantha Ivey Ahead of Her Debut Concert at Crazy Coqs
Britt is making her debut at Crazy Coqs on the 10th July. Her Musical Director for the evening will be Christopher Hamilton who she recently joined at An Evening With Christopher Hamilton & Friends as part of the Sunday Socials concert series at the Union Theatre. She performed 'Look at You' with Samantha Ivey. The duet with lyrics and music by Christopher Hamilton is inspired by the 90's cult movie 'Showgirls'. Britt sings the part of Molly who suspects that her friend Nomi (sung by Samantha) has pushed Cristal Connors down the stairs in order to land her role in the topless Vegas show 'Goddess'. Britt will be singing this song again at Crazy Coqs along with two other of Hamilton's songs.
