Maunder lights the night in the Key of Black

Lucy Maunder

Lucy Maunder, one of Australia’s favourite music theatre leading ladies (Dr Zhivago, The Threepenny Opera, A Little Night Music), will be presenting her acclaimed cabaret at Slide Bar in Sydney tomorrow night.

Directed by Neil Gooding, Songs in the key of Black features the music of Irving Berlin in a cabaret written by Nick Christo featuring the talents of Lucy Maunder, musical director Daniel Edmonds and The Bowery Bandsmen as they defiantly unplug and reboot the decadence and danger of last century’s greatest songwriter.

AussieTheatre.com’s David Allen has praised the show as “well-crafted, atmospheric, heartfelt, funny and brimming with pathos.”

“We are seldom given so fine a chance to appreciate a great singer, a great actress and a great musician as we have been afforded with Lucy Maunder in Songs in the Key of Black”, he said.
