Tribute show to the Carpenters with The British Carpenters, starring Sally Creedon as Karen Carpenter and musicians from London's West End.
The British Carpenters bring their tribute to the Carpenters to The Fire Station on Sunday 1 November, with the show starting at 7:30 PM. It's a full-cast production rather than a solo act, with Sally Creedon taking the role of Karen Carpenter and a band of musicians from London's West End backing her. The show is put on by producers Entertainers, who also stage The Magic of Motown, Fastlove and Lost in Music.
They describe themselves as one of the original tribute shows to tour the UK, and this is a new production by Gordy Marshall. The set focuses on the Carpenters' hits, with 'Close to You', 'Top of the World', 'Rainy Days and Mondays', 'Please Mr Postman' and 'Goodbye to Love' among the songs they'll be playing. It's a night built around those familiar melodies, with Creedon leading the vocals and the West End musicians filling out the sound.
