Photo Flash: THE RISE AND FALL OF LITTLE VOICE at the Vaudeville Theatre

By: Eddie Varley Nov. 06, 2009

The Rise and Fall of Little Voice is back in the West End in a new production to play a strictly limited engagement at the Vaudeville Theatre. The production opened October 20 after running preview performances since October 8.

The Rise and Fall of Little Voice is a savage black comedy-drama about painfully shy, diminutive Little Voice (LV), who lives alone in the north of England with her mother, Mari. Mari's drunken, overbearing personality has driven LV into seclusion in her bedroom, where she listens to her late father's records and has perfected faultless impersonations of the greatest divas, including Judy Garland and Dame Shirley Bassey. When Mari's latest boyfriend, small-time working men's club impresario Ray Say, overhears LV singing, he puts in place a tragic sequence of events as he pushes her towards stardom she doesn't want and is literally terrified of.
