by Steve Trafford

- Accompanied by Stephen Rose
- Costumes by Sheila Godbolt

Marie Lloyd lives again in this popular and celebrated show, which features all her famous songs: “Don't Dilly Dally on the Way”, “Oh! Mr Porter”, “A Little of what you Fancy does you Good”, “The Boy I Love is Up in the Gallery”.
“The greatest music hall artist of all time”.
The poet T.S. Eliot describing Marie Lloyd
Marie captures all the riotous fun and irrepressible talent, as well as the pain and anguish, of a truly remarkable woman.
Elizabeth Mansfield received an Olivier Award nomination as ‘Best Actress in a Musical’ for her performance of this show, at The Fortune Theatre, in London’s West End.
“A full dramatic evening marvellously interwoven with song.”
The Guardian
“Tenderness and fun, style and verve... and oh what songs!”
The Financial Times
“Mansfield is brilliant... Uproarious laughter, often tears... a celebration heart-warming in its humanity.”
The Sunday Telegraph
