After much anticipation, West End Musical Theatre star and three time Olivier Award nominee, Hannah Waddingham, is appearing with her band for a one off performance at the St. James Theatre on 20 October.

Star of Monty Python's Spamalot in the West End and on Broadway, Kiss Me Kate and A Little Night Music, Hannah will give a rare and exclusive performance of many of her favourite songs from the worlds of musical theatre, swing and big band.

Hannah most recently starred in A Little Hotel On The Side at the Theatre Royal, Bath after a hugely successful run as the lead in Trevor Nunn's production of Kiss Me Kate at The Old Vic Theatre and Chichester Festival Theatre for which she received her third Olivier Award nomination and a WhatsOnStage Award nomination for Best Actress in a Musical.

She won the WhatsOnStage Award for her performance as The Wicked Witch of the West/Miss Gulch in The Wizard of Oz at the London Palladium and played the Divine Diva herself, The Lady of the Lake, in Monty Python's Spamalot on both sides of the Atlantic for which she received a Broadway.com Audience Choice Award for her unsubtle performance!

"I'm so glad to finally be able to sing the songs I love and come and support this gorgeous, emerging new theatre. There is nothing like a Live Theatre audience, booze in their bloodstream and a fabulous band kicking out the best tunes in the world. I can't wait to come and play on October 20th, so please join me."
