⭐ LOVE GODDESS – THE RITA HAYWORTH MUSICAL – UK PREMIERE ANNOUNCED FOR THE COCKPIT ⭐
Love Goddess – The Rita Hayworth Musical will get its UK premiere at The Cockpit, it has been announced.
Considered by many to be the most beautiful woman of her day, Fred Astaire’s all-time favourite dance partner, and the bride Orson Welles wanted more than any other woman in the world, there is only one Rita Hayworth. She is still revered as one of the greatest movie stars who ever lived.
Crowned the “Love Goddess” by her adoring fans, Rita Hayworth thrilled studio executives, service- men, and movie audiences alike, generating big box office in 1940s and 1950s Hollywood. Yet she struggled to identify with the bombshell image projected of her, marrying and divorcing five different men in her search for a partner who would love her for who she truly was.
As Hayworth’s story unfolds, we meet Orson Welles, Fred Astaire, Harry Cohn and other extraordinary figures in her life, all presented through the fractured prism of her deteriorating memory due to a then unknown cause: Alzheimer’s.
The show features gorgeous original music by Broadway pianist Logan Medland, and thrilling jazz, tap, and Flamenco dance sequences by award-winning choreographer Lorna Ventura.
This production, presented in collaboration with The Cockpit is the first production of the new full-length musical by Pail & co-writer Stephen Garvey, featuring five actor-singers led by Almog Pail, portraying over 40 characters, with 12 original songs by composer-lyricist and music director Logan Medland.
Produced by Laura Lundy, Blue Panther Productions, New York.
Love Goddess – The Rita Hayworth Musical will play The Cockpit, running from 18th November – 23rd December 2022, with tickets on sale now.
Fabulous! ! !
