The All singing! All dancing! All divorcing? Live Laugh Love, with James and Stephanie Love, plays at the Green Room 42 on Wednesday, January 18 at 7 PM. The show combines the talents of award-winning musician James Doughty and versatile performer and writer Stephanie Marion, who have created and star as the lovelorn Mr and Mrs Love. After a successful London debut at Phoenix Arts Club and an Edinburgh Fringe run, the Loves are ready to take on New York.
The duo have mounted this raucous cabaret on the advice of their couples’ therapist, in the hopes it will salvage their twelve-year marriage from collapse. There’s just one thing—with the Loves, it’s not just a cabaret, it’s a battle of hearts, minds and music as the two sing for their survival, with a surprising array of musical instruments, outrageous dancing and acidic wit. Born out of a five-minute discussion before their first venue meeting, the show has blossomed into a comedic and touching journey full of romantic detours along the way.
Doughty is a music director and arranger based in London. His arrangements have been heard across the world with The Barricade Boys and The Knights, as well as the hit UK Tour Come What May. He has worked with artists including Kerry Ellis, Robbie Sherman and Adam Garcia. Most recently he has been traveling the world with his solo piano show on the Seabourn Venture, Ovation and Oceania Nautica cruise ships.
Marion is an actor, singer and dancer from New Zealand. Her Australian credits include the premiere of Memphis: The Musical, Bare and 21 Chump Street. In the UK, she recently sang for the Royal Family in Westminster Abbey for the Commonwealth Day
celebrations, and performed to a capacity crowd at the world-famous Spiegeltent in
Leicester Square. Before coming to London, Stephanie also co-wrote and starred in The
Pitts, which enjoyed two sell-out runs in Melbourne.
