Songs for Nobodies
Garland ✦ Cline ✦ Holiday ✦ Piaf ✦ Callas
The creative team behind the acclaimed production at Chicago’s Northlight Theatre reunites in Malvern to bring you Songs for Nobodies. A one-woman powerhouse performance weaves the music of Judy Garland, Patsy Cline, Billie Holiday, Edith Piaf, and Maria Callas throughout a mosaic of stories told by the everyday women who encountered these musical icons. Featuring the “flat-out spectacular" (Wall Street Journal) Bethany Thomas performing favorites like "Come Rain or Come Shine," "Crazy," and "Ain't Nobody's Business If I Do," Songs for Nobodies celebrates the healing power of song.
From the adjudicators: "Songs for Nobodies was a captivating portrayal of the roles we all play in history, superstars and nobodies alike. Bethany Thomas is a total star and I could watch her perform all day."
