This is the inaugural solo show for
seasoned cabaret and burlesque performer, Camilla Cream. What a way to start a
solo career!
From the moment she appears through the
black drapes in her full length gown and flapper cloche hat and radiant smile Camilla
Cream commands attention on stage. Opening with Fever Cream instantly has the audience in the palm of her hands as
she warmly and enthusiastically enters into the audience encouraging them to
become part of the show – even getting one woman to get up and dance with her.
Throughout the show Camilla’s honest and
disarming style , and beautiful voice which is everything you want a
jazz/cabaret performer to be keeps the audience singing and moving along with
every song.
The show is a tribute to the life and music
of one of the world’s truly great performers, Peggy Lee. The story starts at
the end telly of Lee's death then works its way backwards through her career and
personal life. There are two costume
changes during the one hour show. One of which occurs whilst Camilla is on
stage – sort of. She goes behind the drapes to changes whilst regularly
sticking head back through curtain to regales interesting and entertaining
piece of Peggy Lee trivia.
Camilla Cream is definitely more
comfortable and confident. when singing than she is during the spoken pieces in
the show and opening night for a new show is nerve racking for even the most
experienced performer. Having said that there is no reason she should be
nervous presenting the monologues. Her chatty style is endearing and the witty
side comments – both scripted and impromptu – garner many laughs from the
audience.
