Reserves and Prices
Bodacious, seductive, and joyful, Judith Owen’s electrifying new show celebrates the oft-forgotten badass ladies of 1940s and 50s jazz and blues.
With the help of her all-star band ‘The Gentleman Callers’, Owen sizzles with the essence of these risqué trailblazers. You’re in the hands of a master with this returning festival favourite, and a brass section so hot you’ll need a glass of something just to cool down. She’s husky sass and soulful mischief, and hearing her sing the first eight bars of anything will have you saying “Oooooh honey.”
Her soaring voice hypnotises and fits perfectly with the score.
