Halesworth & District U3A presents: Parisian Cabaret by Jane Hoggar
Following her successful book and one-woman show entitled Bluebell Girl, cabaret artiste and retired showgirl Jane Hoggar now tours her new show Parisian Cabaret, exploring the fascinating history of the theatres of Montmartre from 1860 to 1960 which includes the wonderful period referred to as La Belle Époque.
Having worked for Miss Bluebell at the once famous Lido de Paris we are in for a treat as Jane regales us with the backstage anecdotes from shows at the Folies Bergère and the Moulin Rouge, belting out some of the Parisian classic songs made famous by Mistinguett, Josephine Baker, and Édith Piaf. You will learn about history and about art; you are sure to laugh a little and you will be visually entertained – what could be better?
Please note U3A talks now start at 2PM and are free to members, for non-members tickets are available at £4 in advance or on the door. All welcome.
