US singer and actor Christina Bianco heads the cast of The Rise and Fall of Little Voice, which comes to Richmond Theatre this June.
Directed by Bronagh Lagan (Cruise), Bianco (Funny Girl) will perform beloved ballads by icons such as Judy Garland, Shirley Bassey and Cilla Black live on stage, capturing their unique style through her extraordinary impressions.
The cast also includes Shobna Gulati (Everybody’s Talking About Jamie) as Mari Hoff, Ian Kelsey (Coronation Street) as Ray Say, Akshay Gulati (East is East) as Billy, William Ilkley (War Horse) as Mr Boo, Fiona Mulvaney (The Ferryman) as Sadie and James Robert Moore (All That) as Phone Man. Anna Hale (London Road) is also understudy LV and Sadie.
Exploring the highs and the lows of small-town dreams, family rivalry and finding your voice in a noisy world, Little Voice and Mari Hoff are a mother and daughter as far apart in character as can be. Left to her own devices, Little Voice starts to embody the famous divas she plays on repeat, from Judy Garland to Shirley Bassey, and becomes an overnight sensation.
The Rise and Fall of Little Voice by Jim Cartwright plays at Richmond Theatre from June 27 to July 2.
