Patti Boulaye
About the Event
Patti’s new one-woman show for Christmas celebrates the birth of Jesus. It features her own Gospel afrobeat music alongside traditional carols. Laughter, dance and hilarious reminiscences of her 50 years in showbiz intermingle throughout. It’s an uplifting and joyous romp before Christmas.
Last year Patti toured in Cameron Mackintosh’s Mary Poppins but now returns to her first love – entertaining an intimate audience. Much of the show’s music will feature her recently produced Gospel album and announce its release on social media and radio.
Patti who came to prominence as a singer winning the British ITV talent show New Faces, where she made history by becoming the only contestant ever to receive the maximum 120 points was awarded an OBE for her charity work in the UK and Sub- Saharan Africa in 2016. Recently she was awarded an Honorary Degree for Services to the Arts and Education.
Patti was a “Visiting Teaching Fellow” at Middlesex University, for 14 Years where she taught life skills to graduate students. She has starred in three major films: “Bisi” said to be Africa’s biggest grossing film, “Hussy” with Helen Mirren and “Music Machine” Britain’s answer to “Saturday Night Fever”.
"“Boulaye’s appeal lies as much in her ability to charm an audience as it does to woo them with a sublime talent as this production proves."" - The Stage
