Grit, Glitter and Gaslight- The Sarah McGuinness Story
THIS IS NO ORDINARY CABARET.
SARAH HAS BEEN THE MUSE OF INDUSTRY LEGENDS FOR YEARS.
THIS IS HER LIFE STORY.
Following a critically acclaimed run at the Etcetera Theatre in 2024, The Sarah McGuinness Story - Grit Glitter and Gaslight…A Cabaret Musical, returns to the stage by popular demand, opening at Circle and Star Theatre, Hampstead, on Tuesday 3 March for a limited three-week run.
Emmy nominated, Sarah McGuinness transformed her behind-the-scenes life with the stars into a powerful and poignant one-woman musical cabaret, first performed at Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2024 before transferring to London.
'A born show-woman, with a beautiful voice and wicked personality – a great tonic for anyone’s night out' – London Pub Theatres
The Sarah McGuinness Story sees this feisty doyenne to the stars strip back the shrouds of celebrity mystery, taking audiences on a jukebox journey through her life in showbusiness, from her childhood on the Irish border in Derry, through a complex relationship with her roots and family dysfunction, to the heights of international success as her life becomes entwined with entertainment icons.
Blending live performance, storytelling and song, the renowned documentary maker and musician turns the lens on herself, delving into long-forgotten memories that are traumatic and hilarious in equal measure.
Set to an epic soundtrack featuring music by David Bowie, Kate Bush, Kurt Weill, Sondheim and Kander & Ebb’s Cabaret, alongside her own original work, this poignant and powerful cabaret tells the extraordinary story of a life lived centre stage.
As Sarah draws a line in the sand against past oppressors, audiences are invited to join a rallying cry for a better world, while gaining an intimate and intriguing glimpse into life among A-list celebrities and the unexpected bonds forged with Hollywood legends.
