A Jersey Arts Centre Residency
Join four of cabaret’s brightest stars as they pay homage to the iconic Noël Coward!
Actor, writer, director, composer and all-round genius Noël Coward was one of the wittiest, bravest, and best-loved artists of the twentieth century. His work has been performed all over the world in theatres, on film, and in cabaret clubs for over a hundred years, and is just as fresh, funny and relevant in these new roaring 20’s as it was in the last.
Sensational vocalist Georgi Mottram, cabaret darling Dr Adam Perchard, musical maestro Robert Hazle and variety superstar Joe Morose have trawled through the archives to bring the finest Coward material back to life. Expect firm favourites such as Mad About the Boy, Marvellous Party, and Someday I’ll Find You, the wit of smash hits like Blithe Spirit, Hayfever and Private Lives, as well as some recently uncovered jewels from the collection that haven’t been performed live for nearly 100 years.
No.1 classical charting soprano Georgi Mottram is an international, Broadway and West End classical singer who has performed all over the world both on stage and screen including opera galas alongside Dame Kiri Te Kanawa, the Proms on the Thames with the London Symphony Orchestra and hosting the Pride of Jersey Awards (which being a Jersey native was an extra special treat). “Rising classical star” – ITV
Dr Adam Perchard – internationally acclaimed writer, visual artist, and cabaret star – also hails from the shores of Jersey. They have performed at the National Theatre, the London Coliseum, the Institute of Contemporary Arts and on Channel 4. A regular face on stages across Europe and the US, they’ve recently completed a hit run at the Soho Theatre with their show Interview with the Vamp, written and performed with Olivier Award-winning composer Richard Thomas. “Scintillating.” – New York Times
Robert Hazle is not only an actor-musician of the highest calibre, he also just happens to work for the Noël Coward Foundation. His obsession with sounds and songs of the past have led him to perform sell-out cabarets all across the country featuring the works of not only Coward, but also Cicely Courtneidge, Ivor Novello, Julian Slade, Cole Porter and both Gilbert and Sullivan. He is also one of the creative minds behind Shows We Used To Know, bringing to life the forgotten favourites of Musical Theatre history. “God he’s good!” – Barry Cryer
Quick-witted, acid-tongued and filthy-minded, the dandy prince of cabaret, Joe Morose, is one of the UK’s most sought-after comperes and artists. He performs weekly in London’s top cabaret, burlesque and variety venues, as well as up and down the country and across Europe. A renaissance man for the TikTok generation, he is a performer, writer, director, composer and more. A Joe-of-all-trades, if you will. The Stage has called him “irrepressible“, the Guardian; “impishly spiteful” and one person on TripAdvisor, “about as funny as syphilis”, but you can’t please everyone.
