JANIE DEE'S BEAUTIFUL WORLD OF CABARET Will Come to London and More

Hot on the stiletto heels of her critically acclaimed Edinburgh Fringe run, two-time Olivier and multi-award-winning, critically acclaimed British actress, singer and musical theatre star, Janie Dee will perform a series of autumn dates for Janie Dee's Beautiful World Of Cabaret - a playfully informative and inspirational musical journey into humanity and nature, that is, at its heart, always hopeful.

Janie Dee's Beautiful World of Cabaret will feature a range of music from artists and composers including Sondheim, Sting, Peggy Lee,Eric Angus, Katherine McMahon, Noel Gay and Vivaldi.  Joining Janie will be violinist Sarah Harrison, accordion player Igor Outkine, vocalist and performer Josephina Ortiz Lewis and dancer and choreographer Sophia Priolo.  The musical director is Jordan Paul Clarke.  Together they shift between cabaret and spoken word to explore how we can be more mindful of the world we live in.

Inspired by her own children running through the streets of London shouting “Save our Planet!”, Janie is passionate about her conscious efforts to reduce waste and limit her own use of plastics – with sometimes hilarious and extraordinary results. In this show, she looks at herself to ask what small steps can be taken to make a difference.

Frank yet optimistic, urgent yet joyful, radical yet playful, Janie Dee's Beautiful World of Cabaret is a celebration of all that we love and share on this planet.

Janie Dee comments “I started the London Climate Change Festival in 2020 to bring information, inspiration and hope. I then pulled together a whole host of incredible people and created a stunning performance and documentary with the great and the good including Sheila Atim, Michelle Terry, Rob Brydon, David Suchet, Kerry Ellis, Brian May, Natalie Fee, Bella Lack, Stuart Ramsay, Gerald Finley CBE, Wayne Sleep OBE, Marcelino Sambe, ‘Song for Nature ‘for Sky Arts. I then felt sure that a live event would amplify the effect, So Beautiful World Cabaret was born! It's an unexpected twist on the traditional cabaret that's radical yet informative, and very dear to me.”
