MARTI WEBB in Conversation with EWdward Seckerson – Newbury Spring Festival

Marti Webb is renowned for her leading roles in West End musicals. She gained prominence through performances in productions such as
Evita, in which she played the role of Eva Perón from 1979, and Tell Me on a Sunday, a one- woman show specifically written for her by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Don Black.

Webb’s career spans over five decades in musical theatre and recording, establishing her as one of Britain’s most enduring stars in the genre. Her breakthrough came in the late 1970s with Evita at the Prince Edward Theatre, followed by acclaimed turns as Grizabella
in Cats, Anna Leonowens in The King and I, and Mrs. Johnstone in Blood Brothers.

In addition to stage work, she starred in the 1980 television adaptation of Tell Me on a Sunday, which propelled her to pop chart success with the single “Take That Look Off Your Face,” reaching No. 3 on the UK Singles Chart.

We are delighted to be returning to Andrew Lloyd Webber’s private theatre where writer, broadcaster and interviewer Edward Seckerson will be in conversation with Marti about her life and career.
