That Patricia Routledge - best known for TV comedy roles like Hyacinth Bucket -trained not only as an actress but also as a singer remains one of the best kept secrets in showbusiness.
Yet not so long ago she enjoyed huge success in musical theatre on both sides of the Atlantic, winning a Tony for her Broadway performance in Darling of the Day and a Laurence Olivier Award for her West End role in Leonard Bernstein’s Candide.
In a fascinating encounter with the writer and broadcaster Edward Seckerson, Patricia tours the theatre and festival circuit discussing her life in musical theatre. The evening is illustrated with rare recordings.
