Video: Emma Hatton Sings 'Secrets and Lies' From BERLUSCONI A NEW MUSICAL

A new music video has been released for the world premiere of BERLUSCONI A NEW MUSICAL, ahead of the production's first preview on 25 March at Southwark Playhouse Elephant.

Watch Emma Hatton sing 'Secrets and Lies' below!

Produced by Francesca Moody Productions (Fleabag, Kathy And Stella Solve A Murder!) and Thomas S. Barnes (Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance With Somebody), BERLUSCONI is a naughty, noisy exposé of the original perma-tanned media mogul turned populist politician, told through the eyes of three formidable women ready to share their side of the story and break the veneer of that million Lira smile.

BERLUSCONI is an urgent and prescient story about a brand of political leadership that has become all too familiar. With soaring melodies and driving beats, this hilarious and outrageous new musical assembles an award-winning team to tell the astonishing, outlandish, almost true story of one of the world's most charismatic, charming and morally dubious political leaders.
