New Musical Theatre Cabaret PRELUDE Comes To Above The Arts

Prelude is a cabaret event showcasing fresh new musical theatre writing and emerging talent, playing at Above The Arts Cabaret Club for one night only on Friday 4 May. Brought to you by a team of Mountview graduates and friends, the evening will present songs from a number of new shows currently in development. Featured musicals include Liz, Turning 30, Much Ado About Hero, Brothers and Audrey. Join us for a joyous evening celebrating new writing, memorable melodies and bright young talent.

Hosted by Oscar Conlon-Morrey (The Toxic Avenger), Prelude will showcase musicals created by Amy Le Rossignol, Lexi Clare, Thomas Ryalls, Harry Style and Arnoud Breitbarth. The evening features performances from a host of recent graduates including Marc Mackinnon (Metropolis), Georgina Hanson (V For Victory), Charlotte Forster (In Versions) and Wallis Hamilton Felton (Ordinary Days).

The event is being held as a fundraiser to facilitate the next instalment of Maiden Speech, a festival launched in 2017 that successfully staged nine new plays by female-identifying artists to critical acclaim.

"I am constantly inspired by how new writing is challenging and changing the theatrical landscape," says Producer Lexi Clare. "Prelude and Maiden Speech are initiatives that champion the voices of emerging artists and provide support for new work that offers up fresh perspectives."

Situated above the Arts Theatre, Above The Arts Cabaret Club is a gorgeous new intimate venue in the heart of the West End.

Lexi Clare Productions is a fresh new Production Company with a focus on providing platforms for emerging artists and feminist work.
