Shirley
Jones - Live In London |
 Legendary
Hollywood and Broadway leading lady Shirley Jones makes her UK debut
at the Arts Theatre for 12 performances only.
Shirley Jones was virtually unknown
when Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein cast her as Laurie in the
1955 movie version of their hit stage musical Oklahoma!
which bought her world wide fame. She followed this up with the
films of The Music Man and Carousel
and won the 1960 Academy Award for Elmer Ganty.
She was the matriarch of The Partridge Family
and has appeared on Broadway in South Pacific,
Maggie Flynn and 42nd Street
Called "the first lady of
American song" by Bob Hope, Shirley Jones in concert promises
to be a very special event and marks the first time this living
legend has ever performed in the UK

to

Dee
Shipman's
unreleased
1970
album
June
20th,
2008
Stage
Door
Records
are
to
issue
the
unreleased
1970
album
of
noted
lyricst
Dee
Shipman.
The
11
track
set
was
recorded
by
Shipman
in
October
1970
at
London's
Chappell
Studio,
produced
by
the
legendary
Norman
Newell
and
featuring
sumptuous
orchestrations
by
Roger
Webb.
The
CD
is
to
be
released
on
July
7th,
2008.
The
album
has
been
digitally
mastered
from
the
original
master
tapes
and
features
an
impressive
selection
of
songs
from
films
and
musical
theatre.
Noted lyricst Dee Shipman who has written musicals with Charles Aznavour ('Lautrec') and Petula Clark ('Someone Like
You'
and
'Zola')
began
her
singing
career
in
1965
recording
the
single
'Comin'
Home
Baby'
b/w
'I've
Got
That
Feeling
for
Decca
(as
Deanna
Shenderey).
Throughout
the
1960s,
Dee
presented
her
own
radio
series
for
the
BBC
(Teen
Scene)
and
Radio
Luxembourg
(Ready,
Steady
Radio
and
Kids
Like
Us)
as
well
as
penning
her
own
column
in
Pop
Weekly.
On
television,
Dee
appeared
in
Emergency
Ward
Ten
with
the
then
heartthrob
Desmond
Carrington
and
also
appeared
in
an
episode
of
The
Avengers.
Dee
has
made
several
films
including
a
starring
role
as
Mrs.
Burke
opposite
Harry
Andrews,
Yootha
Joyce
and
Derren
Nesbitt
in
the
1972
motion
picture
Burke
And
Hare.
It
is
her
work
with
Charles
Aznavour,
Petula
Clark
and
Roger
Webb
that
Dee
is
most
proud
of.
Her
writing
partnership
with
Aznavour
still
continues
today
and
Dee
is
currently
working
on
new
songs
for
a
concert
version
of
their
musical
'Lautrec'.
Every song I have translated is well translated, the one who works on the very difficult songs with me is Dee Shipman. I know her telephone number by heart, and her fax. It goes back and forth - 'No! I don't like this word!' And she comes back and says 'Because you don't understand English!' So I have to convince her and she has to convince me, and
the rapport is fantastic."
-
Charles
Aznavour
Dee
returned
to
the
recording
studio
in
1970
to
record
eleven
songs
produced
by
Norman
Newell.
The
recording
sessions
featured
musical
direction
and
orchestrations
by
Roger
Webb
and
resulted
in
a
highly
successful
song
writing
partnership
between
Roger
and
Dee
that
would
last
until
his
sudden
death
in
2002.
Dee
and
Roger
have
written
songs
recorded
by
Blossom
Dearie
('Sad
Song
Lady'),
Danny
Williams
('The
Rainbow
Bridge')
and

For
