Although best known for her many television roles in such shows as
Keeping Up Appearances, Hetty Wainthrop Investigates and Victoria Wood
as seen on TV, it is still one of the best kept secrets in show
business that Patricia Routledge trained not only as an actress but
also as a singer and had considerable experience and success in
musical theatre, both in this country and in the United States of
America.

Her many awards include a Tony for her Broadway performance in the
Styne-Harburg musical Darling of the Day (1967) and a Laurence Olivier
Award for her performance in Leonard Bernstein’s Candide (Old Vic
1989). Her one woman show Come For The Ride toured the UK in 1988 and
in 1992 she played Nettie Fowler in the highly acclaimed production of
Carousel at the National Theatre. In 1998 she was honoured with the
Gold Badge of Merit by the Academy of Songwriters, Composers and
Authors.

Edward Seckerson’s diligent discovery of her ‘musical life’ makes for
a fascinating evening.

This  ROTARYACT fundraising theatre event is organised by Rotary Club
of Westminster East & Rotaract Club of Westminster and sponsored by
Charing Cross Theatre.
