Joe Lewis & The Denmark St. Big Band perform The American Songbook
Joe Lewis’s obsession with Big Band & Swing Jazz began at his father’s knee ... when Joe Sr. would constantly play LPs by Sinatra, Davis Jr, Bennett & Darin ...

The timeless, inspirational sound of these artists became the soundtrack to Joe Jnr’s life, and his dedication and superb vocal technique have created stunning tributes to his idols. 

Earlier this year, Joe met a fellow obsessive in Paul Burch, Leader of the Denmark Street Big Band. They joined forces and began a series of intimate gigs, performing classic Big Band Swing numbers. 

These sellout shows and ecstatic audiences marked the arrival of a major new force on the British swing scene. 

The Charing Cross Theatre is delighted to present the West End Premiere of Joe Lewis and the Denmark Street Big Band’s “Great American Songbook Show “. 

We only have 265 seats and we anticipate another sellout, so make sure you are one of the few who will always be able to say: “I was there“, and book early!

MRS PRESIDENT

Written by John Ransom Phillips
Directed by Bronagh Lagan

In Mrs President, Mary Lincoln is a woman at war—with her grief, her detractors, and herself. Vilified by an envious elite and accused of treason, she strives to rebuild her public image to win the hearts of the American people. She turns to the world’s first celebrity photographer, Matthew Brady, who helped her husband, Abraham Lincoln, win the presidency. But their partnership unravels into a tense battle for creative control. As Mary fights to tell her story, the play delves into themes of power, identity, female agency, and the cost of representation.

With a richly textured script by acclaimed artist, playwright, and historian John Ransom Phillips, Mrs President invites audiences into a gripping examination of history’s biases and the human need to define ourselves. Described as “evocative” and “unmissable,” this brand new London production brings to life an intimate and politically charged portrait of America’s most misunderstood First Lady.
