Synopsis: | From the tradition of torch singers and musical comedy stars of a bygone era, Miss Springs is the creation of composer and lyricist Ty Jeffries, son of late stage and screen legend Lionel Jeffries. Classically trained at the Purcell School of Music, one-time Jean Paul Gaultier model Ty spent much of his childhood in Tinseltown and rubbed shoulders with the likes of Shirley MacLaine, Shelly Winters, Diana Dors and Frank Sinatra, once tapping down Sunset Boulevard with Fred Astaire. His real life experiences bring authenticity to his portrayal. "I love exploring what made these stars tick and am fascinated by the darker stories behind those glittering facades. Ageing soubrette Hope is my tribute to that golden era." Ty played the piano and sang at The Ritz, Langans Brasserie and The Kensington Roof Gardens, went on to be signed as a composer and lyricist to Elton Johns Rocket Music and collaborated with artists as diverse as Vangelis, Neneh Cherry, Chaka Khan and Billy MacKenzie and The Associates. Miss Hope Springs... Recovering Showgirl is Tys witty and touching new lounge-act style show in which Hope, former denizen of the Pink Pelican Casino, revisits her life and loves as she plays the piano and sings twelve new original bittersweet torch songs and show-stopping belters. Try one part Blossom Dearie to two parts Peggy Lee - with a Bea Arthur chaser - and you start to get the idea... Prepare to see drag dragged into the 21st century. | |||||
