The West End, Broadway and now Millfield!
In his new show John Standing sings 15 of Cole Porter’s greatest songs including You Do Something to Me, Just One of Those Things, I Get a Kick Out of You, You’re The Top and Night and Day and tells stories of a life in the theatre and the movies.
John (1949-52; Kingweston) is one of our best known actors and his Noel Coward cabaret has enjoyed exceptional reviews on both sides of the Atlantic:
“JOHN STANDING may be appearing in cabaret, but that hasn’t stopped him from delivering a master-class in acting in this program of Noel Coward songs, You’d have to look far and wide to find Coward performed with such effortless authenticity. In Standing’s hands the wit glistens, the irony stings, the characterisation pops, and the sentiment seduces. This folks is how it’s done”.

“A voice like a shoe. Technically that may be true but you’d say the same of Rex Harrison whose style was similar though a bit more oratorical - in any case the shoe is made of the finest leather and moulded so perfectly to the contours of the foot, that it can be hardly felt when gliding around the floor.”
