SOME OTHER TIME - LEONARD BERNSTEIN IN WORDS & MUSIC @CrazyCoqs Edward Seckerson ~ Kim Criswell ~ James Church brasseriezedel.com/events/some-ot…
INTER ALIA @NationalTheatre Tremendous. My goodness Suzie Miller knows how to build a drama and lay bare the moral debate. An avalanche of a performance from Rosamund Pike @rosamundpikeon
What a pleasure reminiscing @CrazyCoqs with the charming ADAM COOPER
Excited to announce TALKING POINT @CrazyCoqs A rare close encounter with the one and only ADAM COOPER brasseriezedel.com/events/talking…
Evita Opening Night @OfficialALW @JamieLloydCo At the risk of repeating myself this is for sure one of the great nights in musical theatre of recent times. A startling reimagining of a seminal show made vibrant and new and scarily resonant for the here and now. Thrilled and moved
What a privilege and a pleasure. Henry Goodman was on fire 🔥 in our close encounter @CrazyCoqs
EVITA @OfficialALW @JamieLloydCo so thrilling - as visceral and high-octane as it gets. The daring that rocked musical theatre back in 1978 seems to peak all over again. Breathtaking.
Ahead of SONDHEIM IN THE CITY 12 July @cadoganhall lend an ear… m.soundcloud.com/edward-seckers…

Very enjoyable afternoon yesterday spent at Crazy Coqs for Talking Point with #JohnWilson. @seckerson.bsky.social providing an excellent insight into a musical genius 👏🏻 Envious of anyone who has a career which is also their life’s passion! 🤩
A favourite diva in conversation @CrazyCoqs…relive it now…https://m.soundcloud.com/edward-seckerson/kim-criswell
Private lunch (and muso chat) at Sydmonton with the man himself @OfficialALW and Paul Nicholas…gorgeous day…
Delightful encounter with PAUL NICHOLAS @NewburyFestival recalling an extraordinary career which all but kicked off in Sydmonton’s chapel theatre (so fitting for a bona fide Jesus) @OfficialALW where he showcased songs from an unusual little show entitled CATS
CHARLES STROUSE. A giant. I knew him, spent time with him, revered his talent. Consider a song like ‘Once Upon a Time’ from All American. That melody. Effortless, unforgettable, immortal. Just like him.
Excited to welcome this extraordinary actor to TALKING POINT @CrazyCoqs www.brasseriezedel.com/events/talki...
The more I have become immersed in Mahler’s symphonies over the years the more brightly the mighty Eighth has shone. Edward Gardner’s quite stupendous theatrically immersive ‘staging’ @LPOrchestra @southbankcentre was right up there. Thrilling. Moving. Visionary.
Happy Birthday Patti LuPone that is)… the only Broadway star I’ve ever taken to the opera. Elektra at the ROH with Hildegard Behrens in whom my guest recognised a kindred spirit!
You are most welcome!
You might be disappointed! 😉
Fully caffeinated and heading to the Record Review studio @andrewCDmcg for some lethal Shostakovich….live at 3 or listen again…
Alas not. Also likely to be yummy 😋
Tomorrow…fireworks…
What deeper irony might we take away from Shostakovich’s hectoring Lenin Symphony No 12? What lies beneath all the unisons and filmic bluster? Not sure it matters when it rocks the house in a performance as blistering as this from @londonsymphony under Gianandrea Noseda
Great banter with my great friend the one-off that is KIM CRISWELL @KimDCriswell @CrazyCoqs Always such a joy. Still tingling from the stunning live recording of Legrand’s ‘Piece of Sky’ with the RTE Orchestra and John Wilson…
Scorching performance of Nielsen’s extraordinary 5th Symphony with its renegade side drum and manic first clarinet, both on the verge of nervous breakdowns. Hannu Lintu @LPOrchestra lit the touch paper…
ALL THE COLOURS OF THE DARK by Chris Whitaker. Quite the best novel I’ve read in a very long time. A rich, poetic epic full of heart and beauty. Magnificent.
LIZ CALLOWAY @LizGoesOn @CrazyCoqs A cabaret masterclass. So many highlights… but ‘The Story Goes On’ from Maltby and Shire’s BABY floored me. @TheoJamieson was his usual one- man-band thrilling. Special.
