Alan Winner is THE BOY WHO LOVED BASSEY. In this musical journey of ups and downs, he parallels his career in the theatre to that of his diva and inspiration, Dame Shirley Bassey. Having sold over 135 million records worldwide, there is a plethora of material from which he can draw. He takes you from Beatles to Bond themes and then back again to “Goldfinger,” her greatest selling hit. And in between songs snippets of his life and her life are shared. Winner brings enthusiasm, passion and respect in this tribute, along with a bit of “backbone” in his voice. And sharing in this celebration is Musical Director Andy Roninson, who is almost as much fun as Winner to watch. The Dame would be pleased.
