Hot on the heels of a sensational run in New York last year, ‘the greatest cabaret artist of their generation’ (The New Yorker) and ‘the vocally brilliant and dramatically fearless countertenor’ (The New York Times) are bringing their acclaimed show to London.



Only An Octave Apart is Justin Vivian Bond and Anthony Roth Costanzo’s joyous and surprising musical fantasia, revelling in everything strange and beautiful in the coexistence of contrasts - from Purcell’s 17th century aria “Dido’s Lament” to Dido’s early 2000s hit “White Flag”, from “Autumn Leaves” to “The Waters of March”. Co-created and directed by Zack Winokur, with music supervision by Thomas Bartlett, arrangements by Nico Muhly, musical direction by Daniel Schlosberg, and costume design by JW Anderson, Only an Octave Apart celebrates the historical and the hysterical, from countertenor to counterculture.



*‘Sublime … A small miracle of careful craft and improvisatory looseness, of arch personae and moving sincerity’*__ The New York Times__



*‘Spontaneous, intimate, and hilarious’*__ Time Magazine__



*‘Caustic wit, witchy charisma and subversive queer wisdom’*__ Time Out__

Review: ONLY AN OCTAVE APART, Wilton's Music Hall
by Franco Milazzo - October 3, 2022


“Keep it pretty, keep it shallow, keep it moving.” As well as being words that American cabaret singer Justin Vivian Bond (pronoun v) lives by, they go some way to sum up Only An Octave Apart, this eye-catching and pacy two-hander with Grammy-winning countertenor Anthony Roth Costanzo.
