[Showtuners] Margi D's Hip new Show

[News from Showtune Productions]

Dear Showtuners, 

 

Hi, just wanting to let you know about a show I saw last night at The
Statement Bar under the State Theatre.  Margi de Ferranti has been working
in the professional music theatre industry for many years, I remember her in
the 80's when she was in the ensemble of  Jerry's Girl's waiting for one of
those diva's to go off (she was practically covering them all), if Debbie
Byrne went down it was Margi doing those belts. She has been in many major
musicals as a leading player and support, including Buddy, Mamma Mia, Les
Miserables to name a few.  I do have a personal connection with Margi as she
was one of the first shows I produced at The Kirk in 'It's Delightful It's
Delicious, It's De Ferranti', and we have worked together many times since,
but last night I saw a new Margi!  

 

Margi's new show is carefully written, the musical choices are superb, such
a delight to hear her voice on a Missy Higgin's track.  Margi has rewritten
some lyrics to songs to help us get some jus on her recent Hip replacement!
The Hip replacement is the entire theme for the show, and it is with this
that Ms de Ferranti has gone through the catalogues of music and found
appropriate numbers to get her caper across.  As always with Margi it is the
total take it on the chin attitude to disaster and bad luck but for one song
after her Mamma Mia rave she just takes us all to her core, she drives the
lyric and strips back all showbiz artifice and tells us a story.Her story.  

 

I thought out of all the cabaret's I have seen in a long time this was the
strongest, and had a great power of maturity.  It feels like Margi de
Ferranti is finally happy to  expose herself a little more (emotionally) and
engage, not just stun us all with that awesome instrument.  There really was
a sense that we were watching an Oz treasure with de Ferranti last night a
very special artist in our community. Go and see a pro do her thing in this
fun little cabaret show about having her hip replaced!  

 

Although I didn't get the tampon joke at all!!!!!

 

She is playing at Statement bar TONIGHT, next Friday and Saturday  click on
the Ticketmaster logo below and that will take you to more information on

I just thought I would pass on a word on a good show!  So go check it out!
Good fun music theatre cabaret! With a superb voice one of our best!
