This third in the series of Westway Sessions in which leading stars of the West End and Broadway take to the stage in exclusive concerts at the Vaudeville Theatre.
Westway Music has today announced details of Kerry Ellis’s concert which will take place on the 21st April.
The event will see the West End & Broadway star looking back at her career performing songs and telling stories of her journey to where she is today.
Kerry’s West End set list includes some of her favourite songs from her performances and shows, such as Kings and Queens, On The Street Where You Live / I Could Have Danced All Night, Tomorrow, I Dreamed a Dream, a Queen medley, Defying Gravity, a Greatest Showman medley, and The Way We Were.
Talking about the news she said: “I am so thrilled to be bringing my newest show, Queen of the West End, into London at the beautiful Vaudeville Theatre, home to six other West End Queens! We had such a great time last year playing at over 40 venues across the UK, and now I can’t wait to be singing and chatting about my life and career with you all. I am so proud of my book, and now I get to actually tell the stories and sing those songs that have shaped my theatre life live on stage.”
Kerry originated the role of Meat, in Queen’s ‘We Will Rock You’ and was the first British Elphaba in the worldwide smash, ‘Wicked’, for which she won the 2008 Whatsonstage.com Award for ‘Best Takeover in a Role’. She then headed to Broadway to play Elphaba at the Gershwin Theater, where she won the Broadway.com Audience Award for Favourite Female Breakthrough Performance, before returning to London in the role.
Her other performances include: Grizabella in ‘Cats’, Nancy in ‘Oliver!’, Eliza Doolittle in ‘My Fair Lady’, Ellen in ‘Miss Saigon’, Fantine in ‘Les Misérables’, Sara in ‘Murder Ballad’ and Alice in ‘Wonderland’.
Kerry’s concert will follow on from the first Westway Session by Lee Mead in March, then Cassidy Jansen on 7th April, and is followed by Aimie Atkinson on 23rd June, with further details to be released.
