British composer and lyricist Alexander S. Bermange has received recognition for his many stage musicals, including, in the last nine months alone, Thirteen Days at the Arcola Theatre, The Route To Happiness at the Landor Theatre, and The 24 Hour Musicals at the Old Vic. But he is also known to millions as the resident comic songwriter and performer on BBC Radio 4's Broadcasting House and the BBC World Service's Weekend. His funny songs - some topical, others timeless - have not only tickled national and international radio audiences, but have also acquired a formidable following through performances and recordings by the likes of Kit & The Widow, 4 Poofs and a Piano, and dozens of West End stars.
The Wit and Whimsy of Alexander S. Bermange offers you the opportunity to see this master of the comic song perform some of his best-loved witty ditties, from the intriguing oddities of He Left Me For My Granny, I've Fallen In Love With A Sheep and A Trainspotter's Tale to his tongue-twisting patter songs about the frustrations caused by technology and automated telephone answering systems. The performance will also include an array of his brand new comedic numbers, which are being performed for the very first time.
Alexander will be joined on stage by special guest West End leading ladies
Julie Atherton (whose credits include
Kate Monster/Lucy in Avenue Q, Sister Mary
Robert In Sister Act and Sophie in Mamma Mia!) and
Cassidy Janson (whose credits include
Kate Monster/Lucy in Avenue Q, Elphaba in Wicked and Maggie in Lend Me A Tenor). The show is directed by
Michael Strassen (whose credits include
Ruthie Henshall's one-woman show at the Hippodrome, and Assassins and The Fix at the Union Theatre).
The Wit and Whimsy of Alexander S. Bermange is being performed tonight 28th July at 7.30pm at the St James Theatre, 12 Palace Street , London SW1E 5JA . Tickets are available by calling 0844 264 2140 or via the link at the top of www.bermange.co.uk.
