The concert will premiere new songs written by Clive Richard Davis.
It has been announced that West End star Kerry Ellis will lead the cats in a new musical concert production of Riddles & Romance, taking place at the Underbelly Boulevard on the 30th September.
This new concert of works by Clive Richard Davis follows on from the composer’s At Last, It’s Summer at the London Palladium last year and will offer an exclusive first look at Davis’s new project, The Three Riddles, along with a selection of standalone songs that evoke the timeless quality of the English Song Book. In addition, the concert will also feature highlights from At Last, It’s Summer.
Further casting for the concert includes Rob Houchen, whose previous roles include Marius Pontmercy in the West End’s Les Misérables, and Carl Alan Award nominated dancer and choreographer Jack Pallister, most known for his work at the infamous Brick Lane Music Hall as well as starring in Alice in Wonderland at the Phoenix Theatre (2022). Joining the cast after starring in the West End premiere of At Last, It’s Summer is actor and singer Shannon Rewcroft. The cast is completed by Henryk Firth whose further work includes MAMMA MIA! UK & International Tour and MAMMA MIA! The Party and Wendy Carr, a founding member of London’s leading classical-crossover girl group, Ida.
Composer Clive Richard Davis said, “It is a genuine privilege and a joy to have present day musical royalty like Kerry and Rob deliver my work. Everybody needs a hobby and mine is composing music that could have been written in the heyday of musical theatre, inspired by Gershwin, Porter and Berlin, to name but three of many. Ideas for a melody or harmonic progression pop into my head when I should be practicing Chopin or Schumann and probably because I am not good enough to play either properly. It is like a child let loose in the sweetshop and long may it continue.”
This concert will be directed by Jordan Langford with musical direction by Jack Bennett and is produced by Matty Hurst Productions Ltd.
