THE EVA CASSIDY STORY

From: 08 October 2008

To: 08 October 2008

Faye Tozer steps into the shoes of Eva Cassidy at Southport Theatre & Convention Centre

Wednesday 8th October, 8.00pm

Faye Tozer steps into the shoes of Eva Cassidy

Since its first performance ‘Over the Rainbow’ has received rapturous receptions and inspired cathartic outpourings of emotion. This is the poignant and moving story of Washington born singer Eva Cassidy.

This show has now received standing ovations throughout the UK and Ireland and was a huge hit in Holland, winning “Best Production of the Year”. It is now destined for the Middle East and other territories throughout the World and stars Faye Tozer of “Steps” Fame in the role of Eva Cassidy plus the sensational Irish singing star Rose-Marie playing Barbara Cassidy (Eva’s mother).

By the time of her death, she was unknown outside Washington but within four years Terry Wogan discovered and promoted her haunting interpretation of ‘Somewhere Over the Rainbow’ to the top of the chart.

This compelling Musical play journeys through her life, from her idyllic childhood growing up in a musical family, to her studio work with boyfriend and mentor Chris Biondo; to the exuberant live recording of Blues Alley and finally to her tragically premature death at the age of only 33 years.

This sad but uplifting love story features over 27 of her best loved songs recreated by a multi-talented cast of West End performers.

Her album ‘Imagine’ came straight in at Number One ahead of international singing stars Robbie Williams and Beyonce, and her interpretations have received accolades from Roberta Flack, Mick Fleetwood and Sting, making her the only female Artist ever to receive three posthumous Number One albums.

This Musical captures the beautiful qualities of this wonderfully talented and spiritual song stylist, a true artist in every sense of the word, with no interest in fame and fortune.

Not since Blood Brothers has a Musical received such an emotional response.

A show for anyone who has lost someone they love. A thoroughly entertaining and a truly memorable experience.

What are RSS Feeds?

RSS feeds allow you to see when websites have added new content. You can get the latest headlines and stories in one place, as soon as they are published, without having to visit the websites you have taken the feed from.

How do I start using feeds?

In general, the first thing you need is something called a feed reader. This is a piece of software that checks the feeds and lets you read any new articles that have been added. There are many different versions, some of which are accessed using a browser, and some of which are downloadable applications. IE 7.0 has a good feed reader built in, otherwise try Feedreader.
