Ferris and Milnes Announce St James Residency

Ferris and Milnes

Following their sell out performances at The Pheasantry and a standout performance at 2015’s Sondheim 85th Birthday Gala at Drury Lane, Ferris & Milnes, the musical theatre comedy cabaret performed by Dominic Ferris and Martin Milnes, have been invited to take up creative residency at the St James Theatre Studio. The first show of the St. James Studio residency will be Ferris & Milnes: Live at the St. James – Let’s Go On With The Show!, which will be performed for two nights only, on Saturday 30 and Sunday 31 January.

REVIEW: Show Off, The Pheasantry ✭✭✭✭

Nikki Aiten in Show Off At The Pheasantry

Nikki Aitken, with pianist Simona Budd, performed Show Off. Aitken is a widely recognized artist in Australia where she has won awards for her cabaret programmes and to which she will be returning soon in the Australian tour of Amity Dry’s Mother, Wife and the Complicated Life. She is also a composer in her own right, both of cabaret numbers and of a new musical GO!, which received a fine first workshop outing last summer at the Camden Fringe Festival, as reviewed here by Stephen Collins. On the basis of this performance she will surely consolidate that reputation further.
