Miss Hope Springs

Comedy cabaret chanteuse ‘recovering showgirl’ turned lounge act, Miss Hope Springs, plays the piano and sings songs from her all-original, self-penned, vintage repertoire and recounts torrid tales from a career that started out in in the early sixt…I mean seventies. One the toast of Las Vegas (now down on her luck and heavily medicated) you’ll hear hysterical stories from her disastrous 'Ritz to the pits’ life, interspersed with songs about her various paramours - from Liberace to Barry Manilow - and she spills the beans about what it’s like to live with her husband Irving and his hairdresser pal Carlos in a camper van in Dungeness. Still wearing the sequinned pantsuit she left the Pink Pelican Casino wearing in 1972, Hope brings you her sizzling blend of finger snapping pop, romantic rhumbas, sassy bossa novas and smouldering torch songs in this unique laugh-out-loud, move-you-to-tears show. Join Hope as she opens her battered 'suitcase of dreams' to share more magical musical mementos.
