Victoria guest stars at Julie Atherton's Cabaret 23rd February 2011

Since the closing of Flashdance last month that I'd been wanting to see Victoria do something different and it didn't take too long for that too happen. Victoria announced that she would be one of three guest stars in Julie's cabaret on the 23rd February 2011. The other guest stars were Anna Jane Cassey and Stevie Webb.

I arrived at the theatre with only a few minutes to spare, I settled in my seat very quickly. I had been apprehensive since booking my ticket that I wasn't going to like Victoria singing as I had only heard her sing in Flashdance, I had never heard the 'real' Victoria. My worries were soon put to rest.

Julie was amazing, it was a first for me seeing Julie perform her songs too so I was pleasantly surprised. Victoria guest starred second. First Julie and Victoria sang a duet called My Friend from the musical The Life. I really enjoyed the song Victoria and Julie's voices blended well together. Victoria told me after that she had only learnt the song 2 days before. Check the song out by clicking the video below
                                          

Next Victoria sang her solo. A jazz number called Black Coffee, admittedly I had never heard of it. Well I was immediately taken in to that world of my own I mentioned in my previous blog. Victoria sang the song amazingly. She not only sang the song but acted it as well. I loved the tone of her vocals and the way in which she interpreted the song. Once again I was totally blown away by Victoria. She got a brilliant round of applause from the audience. Check out Victoria singing Black Coffee below.


So of course we (my friends and I) went to see Victoria at the stage door afterwards. She seemed pleased to see us and we had a nice chat. Victoria asked us what we thought and of course we told her that we loved it and thought she did an amazing job. This is when she told us she had only learnt the song two days before. She spent a fair bit of time with us and we appreciated it very much.

Vix yet again another mind blowing performance and I can't wait for the next one.
