I love an intimate venue, and there was no better place for the incredible Tituss Burgess to bring his cabaret style show. Supported by an excellent 3 piece band and guest performers, Burgess demonstrated why his vocal talent is sought after, and importantly why he is regularly cast in what many would consider against type roles.
Spanning rock, pop, jazz, musical theatre, and beyond, Tituss is captivating. A magnetic performer, it is hard to take your eyes off him. The structure of the evening provided opportunity for Tituss to engage with the audience both in performance, and without that artifice. While the singing was incredible, what really stuck with me was the informal Q&A that started the second act. Tituss’ vulnerability and honesty in answering questions from the audience was incredible, and really lasting.
I can’t wait to see what he does next - hopefully on the West End if he achieves his goal of moving here.
