MUSICAL THEATRE. OPERA. THEATRE.
JEWish Cabaret’s “A Cafe Named Desire”
London, UK - This original musical, conceived by the JEWish Cabaret, comes on the heels of their very successful original show “Purim - Uncut!” With such moving songs as “Writing a Love Song” and laugh-out-loud funny songs like “Swipe to the Right,” this demo recording is a great way to spend a half hour or so.
“Clap”
London, UK - Award-winning writer and spoken word poet Luci:d was going to perform at Genesis Poetry Slam in London in April, but the event was cancelled because of the pandemic. Instead, she wrote and recorded this moving poem about mental health during this time of isolation. The poem will soon be featured alongside contributions from celebrities Emilia Clarke and Little Mix’s Leigh-Anne Pinnock in the #copingtogether campaign. Luci:d has received hundreds of beautiful messages and comments from people who've been touched by the poem. Once you hear her perform, you’ll understand why.
