Lindfield resident Beatrice, in musical revival concert - Song of Singapore
London’s West End has largely been reopened, and whether you prefer a crime drama or a comedy, everyone can love a musical. With that in mind, Lindfield resident and stage supremo, Beatrice Beston, will be reprising her role in ‘Song of Singapore’ for a special concert in London this October.
Beatrice recalls: “I thoroughly enjoyed doing Song of Singapore. It was the first professional show I did after drama school, so it will always mean a lot to me. Little did I know then that the show was going to be such a huge success! Being able to perform again with the original cast feels very exciting and such an honour. I haven’t seen many of them in over 20 years! I listened to the songs again recently and was blown away with just how good the musicians are. It will be a different experience this time as we are doing it as a concert, but I’m sure I’ll feel the same buzz of excitement.”
A comedy-cabaret set in 1941, the show follows Rose, a saloon singer with a lost memory. When enemy troops start closing in, Rose and the club band need to escape. An opportunity appears when they come across priceless jewels, however, a corrupt police officer is after the jewels and isn’t far behind them.
Together with the rest of the 1998 original UK cast, Song of Singapore will return in concert on 25th October at the Crazy Coqs – The Brasserie Zedel, London. Further upcoming dates include 8th January 2022 at the Minerva, Chichester Festival Theatre.
