JONES' DIARY: A Musical Valentine In Concert Comes to Piano Works West End

Get out your big knickers! Bridget Jones has finally decided that this year, she will take control of her life (even if that means sleeping with her boss)! Don't be All by Yourself this Valentine's day! Join us on a hysterical, musical journey as Bridget recounts her year by dieting, dating, and feeling bad about it. Jones' Diary: A Musical Valentine in concert is rammed with your favourite pop hits with incredible musical arrangements, such as "Sexy Back", "Fighter", "Toxic" and "Jump". You will literally be jumping out of your seats. This concept originated in L.A where the team Tye Blue and Marion Pugliesi perfected the pop-culture parody genre. An immersive experience that invites the audience to submerge themselves into the story.

Amelia Adam Pearce (Kiss me Kate, Spamalot, Hairspray, Jersey Boys) as Natasha/Jude. Max Alexander Taylor (Spring Awakening, Jeannie) as Tom. Vicki Mason (Jenson Duos, Westend in Schools) as Shazzer/Perpetua. Jude Neill (Evita, Sound of Music, Jude deps for a 1920s trio-The Wild Tonics) and Jean-Toussaint Torre (Midnight Strikes, Gospell) as Ensemble.
