Katy Lipson for Aria Entertainment has just announced the UK Premiere of It’s Only Life, opening at the Union Theatre for 4 weeks from Wednesday 13th June -Saturday 7th July 2018.
The cast includes: Noel Sullivan (Rock of Ages, Priscilla Queen of the
Desert), Jennifer Harding (Funny Girl, Legally Blonde) and Jordan Shaw
(Follies, tick, tick… BOOM!). They are joined by recent graduates Will
Carey and Sammy Graham.
It’s Only Life is a musical revue featuring the songs of John Bucchino.
His songs have been recorded and performed by Judy Collins, Patti
LuPone, Yo-Yo Ma, Audra MacDonald, Liza Minnelli, Art Garfunkel and many
others. Conceived by director Daisy Prince and the award-winning
songwriter, It’s Only Life is about longing, fulfillment, loss, triumph
and ultimately wisdom.According to the New York Times, Bucchino’s
‘flowing, finely made piano ballads describe an urban life in which
relationships come and go in cycles of yearning, fulfillment, heartbreak
and healing’ – where romantic love is anticipated with ‘high
expectations, high anxiety and open hearts.’ The show won LA’s 2008
Ovation Award for Best Book/Lyrics/Music for an Original Musical.
Katy said “I have been in love with this beautiful piece for many years. There has never been a more appropriate time to now bring it to the UK. I am thrilled to bring together such a talented team of cast and creatives to the Union Theatre this summer”.
