RACHEL TUCKER BY REQUEST
The Bridge House Theatre Gardens
2, High Street, Penge, London SE20 8RZ
Sunday 9th July 2017
For one evening our joint artistic director Rachel Tucker brings her critical
acclaimed cabaret to the Bridge House Theatre with a unique twist. The audience
will have the opportunity to bid in advance suggesting and dedicating a song
Rachel will learn and include in her set. Another auction will see the lucky
bidder perform with Rachel on stage.
All profits will go to the Bridge House Theatre.
Rachel is best known for her award-winning portrayal of Elphaba in Wicked in the
West End. She also made her acclaimed Broadway debut in Sting’s musical The Last
Ship, which was later followed by a stint as Elphaba in New York. Recently she
completed her green journey by performing as part of Wicked’s 10th Anniversary.
Rachel who will be joined by her “On the Road Band” & some special guests for
this exclusive performance said "I am honoured to bring this special show to our
very own Bridge House. It marks the end of my first UK tour, and to do this
unique fundraiser for our lovely theatre seems the perfect finish. I’m really
excited to be able to offer the audience something really different, and I
believe the auctions are a very special way of bringing the Theatre’s unique
potential of theatre that is up, close and personal! Crucially it will really
help us in further developing future productions!”
Rob Harris, lead producer at the Bridge House said “It’s wonderful that we have
such an amazing performer as Rachel as our joint Artistic Director. This show
means so much to the theatre financially. We get no independent or Arts Council
funding and survive from show to show. We have big plans for the venue and look
forward to an amazing event.”
The outside concert is directed by Bridge House Theatre joint Artistic Director
Guy Retallack, is produced by Rob Harris for The Bridge House Theatre & Climar
Productions. The On the Road Band comprises of MD Kris Rawlinson, Dan Giles and
Keir Adamson.
