This is a show that I believe should be, and will be, an unexpected hit. Madame is an outrageous character originally created by Wayland Flowers, who passed away in the 80s. She was a much adored aging diva who performed with Wayland around New York, and much of the American cabaret circuit. Madame went on to win an Emmy Award and become a television star appearing on shows such as Hollywood Squares and the Andy Williams show.
Although this is essentially a ventriloquist and dummy act, it is certainly a unique show in its own right. Having seen her first with Wayland, and now partnering up with the talented Joe Kovacs and musical director Michael Ferreri, it is evident that Madame has lost none of her biting wit, bitchiness or ego. She is a complete an utter mega star, and could easily be an American relation to Dame Edna Everage.
This is Madames first appearance in the UK, and although she was famous in the States, she never made it across the pond until now. With 2,000 shows to choose from, there is sure to be the odd gleaming gem that doesnt get the recognition it deserves. Dont let this happen. Madame craves an audience and deserves everyones attention. You need to put this amongst the list of must sees. When word gets out it will be a sure sell out.
