S’Wonderful: The Great American Songbook comes to London

The former lead singer of The Stranglers, songwriter and actor Paul Roberts, and renowned West End singer and actor Miranda Wilford, are bringing back their sell out show S’Wonderful: The Great American Songbook.

Alongside a swinging trio of musicians, the group are bringing the show to London for the first time in more than 10 years, as they feature the world’s greatest music and lyrics of legendary songwriters at the Crazy Coqs in London, from August 22-28.

S’Wonderful will take audiences on a whistle-stop tour of the greatest songbook ever written, celebrating the world’s most important and influential songwriters and lyricists, including Cole Porter, Irving Berlin, Rodgers & Hammerstein, Jerome Kern and the Gershwins, who propelled the likes of Frank Sinatra, Judy Garland, Nat King Cole and Ella Fitzgerald to stardom.

Join Roberts and Wilford as they create a magical time capsule of beloved classics with their charismatic voices and energetic stage presence.

After 16 years of collaboration as The Stranglers’ frontman, Paul and the band amicably split in 2006 leaving Paul to explore his solo career.

As a vocalist, Miranda Wilford is an established recording artist and a regular with the Syd Lawrence Orchestra, Spice Fusion and the London Movie Orchestra.

Her West End lead roles include Rizzo in Grease, the Narrator in Joseph, the lead singer in Thriller Live! and the iconic Doris Day in the world premiere of Ol’ Blue Eyes.
