A ONE-WOMAN show celebrating the leading ladies of musical theatre is coming to The Phoenix Theatre and Arts Centre in Bordon on April 2 at 7.30pm.
The lady behind Femmes Fatales is Kerry Le Bern, who is combining the roles of creator, producer, director and leading lady despite having a busy day job as a global human resources leader for a top technology company.
She said: “I developed the idea of Femmes Fatales last year during lockdown and it marks the fulfilment of a lifetime ambition of mine.”
Her show is all about celebrating the leading lady in musical theatre through song, dance, dialogue and personal anecdotes and it explores shows such as Cabaret, Chicago, Mamma Mia!, Hairspray and many more.
In the run-up to Femmes Fatales, Kerry wanted to tell her audience that March 8 is International Women’s Day.
She said: “My life has been and continues to be touched by many inspiring women, so I am dedicating this show to all those inspirational women out there who have positively influenced my life – but most of all to my beautiful mum, the person who taught me that to sing is a wonderful gift and that to be confident to go out there and share it is an even greater gift.”
Kerry normally sings traditional jazz standards but she felt there was a lot of crossover between the genres.
She said: “I continue to be amazed by the wealth of wonderful jazz standards which have their roots in musical theatre.
“I think I can safely say I have my roots in musical theatre and over the years I have been fortunate enough to play some fabulous roles.”
