Part of St. James Studio Cabaret Nights
Skye Crawford and Hillary Elk present The Craig Christie Songbook, live at the St James Studio. An array of prominent performers from London and New York’s musical theatre stages will take the audience on a journey through Christie’s vast array of musical theatre numbers for this up close and personal concert of songs from the writer of West End hit Eurobeat the musical.
The show will feature songs from the Craig Christie Songbook, followed by an intimate showcase of songs never heard in London before from Christie’s new musical Villainy in which seven of literature’s greatest villains struggle for precedence as they strive to break the boundaries of the books for which they were created and unleash themselves upon the real world. Trapped in a mythical world called Public Domain, these notorious characters blur the lines of fiction and non-fiction, battle with each other and strive to save both themselves and their authors from obscurity.
