The Pheasantry (Chelsea)

The award-winning singer and musical theatre star Patti Boulaye returns to the The Pheasantry following her sell out shows with her wonderful, moving one-woman show ,‘Billie and Me,’ in which she discusses the parallels of her life and career with that of the great singer Billie Holiday. The late Billie Holiday’s life, songs and cause of her death, made a strong impact on modern day performers like Patti and it was many of Holiday’s songs and performances that increased Patti's love of jazz music. In 'Billie & Me', Patti performs some of her favourite and well -known songs of Holiday’s such as That Ole Devil Called Love, Nice Work If You Can Get It, Lover Man, God Bless the Child and many more.

.

“Boulaye’s appeal lies as much in her ability to charm an audience as it does to woo them with a sublime talent as this production proves."
