⭐ THE SOPRANO BEHIND THE SCREEN – MARNI NIXON MUSICAL – ANNOUNCED FOR CHISWICK PLAYHOUSE ⭐
The Soprano Behind The Screen, a musical based on the life of Hollywood’s secret soprano Marni Nixon, has been announced for the Chiswick Playhouse.
American soprano, Marni Nixon, is known in the popular world as the singing voice behind the stars of West Side Story, The King and I and My Fair Lady. An accomplished singer in her own right, she sang opera, classical song and appeared on Broadway. Marni Nixon was the singing voice of Audrey Hepburn, Deborah Kerr, Natalie Wood, Jeanne Crain and Marilyn Monroe, to name only a few. They, on the other hand, were her face. However, Marni Nixon had a face – and voice – all of her own, as she demonstrated to audiences for five decades…
This musical biography tells her story through tales of silver screen Hollywood and songs from classic movie musicals (including My Fair Lady, West Side Story and The King & I), operas, classical song and more recent Broadway shows too.
The Soprano Behind The Screen is written & performed by Charlie-Jade Jones with musical direction by Connor Fogel and directed by Becky Harrison. Produced by Scenaria LTD.
The Soprano Behind The Screen will play the Chiswick Playhouse on 21st – 22nd May & 16th – 17th June 2021.
Sounds lovely! ! !
