Fire at Keaton ‘s Bar & Grill

A performance of Roy Nathanson’s latest project given at the Royal Festival Hall earlier this week as part of the London Jazz Festival. Fire at Keaton’s Bar & Grill is an exciting and ambitious multimedia work of music theatre, which tells the story of a typical bar and the characters that inhabit it. Debbie Harry and Elvis Costello head a cast of supporting singers and musicians in music ranging from intimate ballads to tango and jazz funk.

Producers Steve Shepherd and Kathryn Willgress
