X-Factors Diana Vickers in the West End
The Rise and Fall of Little Voice, at the Vaudeville Theatre in London opens in October 2009 starring Diana Vickers. It is the first major revival since it’s premiere at the National Theatre and Aldwych Theatre in 1992 where it won the Evening Standard and 1993 Olivier Award for Best Comedy. Add that to the fact that it is written by multi-award winning playwright Jim Cartwright (Road, Bed, Two) and directed by Terry Johnson (One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest, Hitchcock Blonde, The Graduate, Entertaining Mr Sloane) and this musical comedy obviously has all the right credentials.
It is a savage black comedy-drama about painfully shy, diminutive Little Voice (LV) – Diana Vickers – who lives alone in the north of England with her mother, Mari. Mari’s drunken, overbearing personality has driven LV into seclusion in her bedroom, where she listens to her late father’s records and has perfected faultless impersonations of the greatest divas, including Judy Garland and Dame Shirley Bassey.
