Starring Tony award winner Frances Ruffelle this exciting new piece of music theatre unfolds through the bittersweet love songs of Kurt Weill’s American repertoire (including September Song, Speak Low, I’m A Stranger Here Myself) and the sensuous mischief of tango dance.

1949: stylish and sophisticated post-war New York. Cabaret singer Angélique (Frances Ruffelle) relives the memories of her brief but passionate love affair with songwriter Dan (Nigel Richards). Recalling her arrival from Paris a year before, she reflects on how her life has changed...

Also featuring dancers Tara Pilbrow and Amir Giles and a 7-piece live band, the production was conceived by choreographer Kate Flatt (Les Miserables; Doctor Faustus, Young Vic; Three Sisters, National Theatre), a Watford Palace Creative Associate.

A Segue production co-produced with Watford Palace Theatre and The New Wolsey Theatre and co-commissioned by ROH2 at the Royal Opera House.  Presented by arrangement with Josef Weinberger Limited and European American Music Corporation.
