Sedaka: Laughter in the Rain
4th October - 8th October
Tickets from £28
Running time approx TBC
After Carole King’s musical ‘Beautiful’ comes the equally triumphant story of her close friend and musical mentor Neil Sedaka.
Born in Brooklyn, the son of a taxi-driver, Sedaka started songwriting at Broadway’s legendary Brill Building, penning his first hit, Oh Carol, for his then girlfriend, Carole King. He went on to become a teenage idol to rival Elvis but in 1964 his career collapsed as America embraced the Beatles and other bands of the so-called ‘British Invasion’. He struggled for almost a decade but found salvation when he signed to Elton John’s Rocket Records label, and remarkably returned to the top of the charts with Laughter In The Rain.
Featuring all his classic hits…
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEET SIXTEEN • LAUGHTER IN THE RAIN OH! CAROL • AMARILLO (IS THIS THE WAY TO) • SOLITAIRE LOVE WILL KEEP US TOGETHER • CALENDAR GIRL
