Winter/Spring Season Announced For Live At Zédel

Live At Zédel, Soho's unique live entertainment concept at Crazy Coqs, announces their new 2019 winter/spring season produced in partnership with Fane Productions.

James Albrecht, Artistic Director says: "Over the past 2.5 years Crazy Coqs has established itself as London's art deco gem for cabaret and live music, and has now become a first choice for many UK and International Artists. The season outlined below very much reflects this with several world class names either returning to Crazy Coqs or making their debut, and it is gratifying that more and more, celebrated artists or those seeking a career launch see Crazy Coqs as their 'shop window'. The audience too continues to grow and become more diverse - a reflection of the density and breadth of the programme. We look forward to sharing this unique space with all the artists and audiences that descend the stairs at Zédel for an experience unlike any other London has to offer."

Featuring over 200 shows, highlights of the 2019 winter spring season include Julian Clary in a special warm-up for his new tour in February, Maria Friedman with a brand new show From the Heart and Hamilton Olivier Award Winner Giles Terera in May. Other musical theatre guests include Cassidy Jansen (Carole King in Beautiful) and Lorna Luft singing favourites from the Great American Songbook.
