‘Astounding.’
Annie Lennox’s transcendent solo album DIVA stands at the centre of this sparkling story about strong, defiant women and the little gay boy who loves them. Careening from Judy Garland’s definitive Carnegie Hall concert to Kate Chopin’s groundbreaking feminist novel The Awakening, Salty Brine defies the cabaret form in ways that must be witnessed to be believed. High camp and heartbreaking drama collide as Salty charts his way, track by track, through Lennox’s masterpiece.
Salty Brine is the creative force behind The Living Record Collection, a dazzling expedition into the heart of popular music, imagining track lists as blueprints for evenings of musical mayhem, creating the perfect cabaret experience for theatre-lovers.
As Time Out New York puts it, ‘The outrageously talented Salty Brine takes classic pop albums—from Joni Mitchell’s Blue to the Dirty Dancing soundtrack—and weaves their songs into funny, perceptive tapestries of storytelling. The shows are highly addictive: Once you’ve been dunked into Brine, you’ll want to dive right back in’.
