The Rise And Fall Of Little Voice Announce 2022 UK Tour

A brand new production of Jim Cartwright's The Rise and Fall of Little Voice will embark on a UK tour next year, beginning in Southampton on March 23rd 2022.

The show will star Shobna Gulati as Mari Hoff, Ian Kelsey as Ray Say as two-time Drama desk award nominee and YouTube sensation Christina Bianco as Little Voice. It will be directed by Bronagh Lagan and produced by Katy Lipson and Glass Half Full Productions.

This bittersweet comedy will feature music from some of the greatest divas of all time including Edith Piaf, Judy Garland, Barbra Streisand, Marilyn Monroe and Shirley Bassey. Christina Bianco will vividly bring to life performances from the great chanteuses in Cartwright’s tender and life-affirming play. With humour, heart and countless powerhouse ballads all performed live on stage, Cartwright’s timeless and iconic tale explores the highs and the lows of small-town dreams, family rivalry and finding your voice in a noisy world.

The Rise and Fall of Little Voice won both the Oliver award and Evening Standard award for Best Comedy when it premiered at the National Theatre in 1992 in a production directed by Sam Mendes which then transferred to the Aldwych. That production starred Jane Horrocks who went on to reprise the role in the much loved film adaptation.

Here are two behind the scenes videos of the photoshoot for The Rise and Fall of Little Voice.
