One woman show with music telling the story of the life, loves and career of the forgotten Victorian Music Hall superstar, Nelly Power.


Meet Nelly Power, child prodigy and a star from the age of 15. Male impersonator, soubrette and headliner at all the major music halls, Nelly was a force to be reckoned with in an era where the theatre was one of very few areas where women couple be properly independent.

But life was not all a bed of roses for our heroine; betrayed by unscrupulous men and usurped by the next teenage sensation her end was tragic and untimely. That “teenage sensation” was, of course, Marie Lloyd, now remembered as the “Queen of the Music Hall.”

In this one woman show using songs of the period, Blue Fire Theatre Company take their audience back to the mid -19th Century to view the social history of the period through the subversive lens of music hall and the eyes of one woman who just happened to be a star of popular entertainment.

After a short break/interval the author, J.J. Leppink will join for a Q&A session.

Music hall sing a long for the audience.

Very Good Old Days!
