Hollywood musical coming to The Apex

Liza Pulman, comedienne, songstress and one third of the iconic Fascinating Aida, has teamed up with the quick-witted musical virtuoso Joe Stilgoe (both pictured above) for a brand-new show – “Hooray for Hollywood!” which is coming to The Apex, in Bury St Edmunds, next week.

Combining their musical styles and stories from two fascinating careers, the show features some of the best loved songs from movie-musicals – “The Wizard of Oz”, “Wicked”, “West Side Story”, “La La Land”, and many more.

Prepare to be swept away by Joe’s dazzling piano playing, Liza’s exquisite vocals and their beautiful, tight harmonies as the duo perform some of their all-time favourite songs, sprinkled with heaps of panache.

The Hollywood musical feels like it’s been with us forever.

Starting with the Jazz Singer in 1927, almost 100 years later audiences are still flocking to the box-office to watch the big screen come alive with singing, dancing, comedy and romance.

Liza Pulman and Joe Stilgoe’s exhaustive movie knowledge is on technicolour display here,  as they bring some of these great movie-musical songs to life on the stage.

Born to musical families, their style has been fine-tuned from cradle to stage, and together they have the musical and theatrical chemistry of Dudley Moore and Julie Andrews, or Barbara Cook and Wally Harper.

Liza Pulman and Joe Stilgoe are at The Apex on Wednesday, April 15, at 7.30pm.
