"Some Like It Hot" Cabaret by Rebecca Grant turns up the heat in Mayfair

Holby City and Prisoners Wives actress was described as "witty" and "dazzling" by the Daily Mail and caused near 'uproar' from her cabaret show "Some Like it Hot" at Bellamy's, Mayfair. Owner Gavin Rankin teamed up with West End conductor and pianist Tom Wakeley to cook up a plan to spice up the month of August. Rebecca Grant came up with the torchy image and repertoire of songs fulfilling Gavin's expectations which was to create a night of naughty songs for bad girls. cont. below

Bellamy's is one of two places in London HRH The Queen has dined at so needless to say Rebecca's audience, in which she intimately had to perform to, consisted of Lords, Ladies, bank and business owners as well as the Queen's personal pianist Confrey Phillips. However, after each cabaret she gained full praise, participation and standing ovations, the audience would not leave their seats and insisted on joining in singing more familiar songs. Rebecca says "This feels like the true essence of cabaret how it was where the audience want to get involved and basically sing, dance and play the piano the whole night through!"

Rebecca and Jive Aces Tour 2013

                                                                                                 Bibis restuarant


Some of you might know that between filming or treading the boards I spend my time with a group of fifties, fun loving and jiving lads called The Jive Aces, UK's No.1 Jive Band. For the past three months we've been, well, pretty much everywhere. Up north that is and more recently all the way down south in a sunny place beside the sea called Worthing at the fabulous 'Big Jive All dayer' which the Jive aces organise on a yearly basis.We've been promoting their album I feature on called 'King of the Swingers'. I have such a 'laff' on the road with these guys and played to some big and wonderful audiences. I think my favourite show was at Bibis: one of the most lush art deco restaurants I have ever seen. The food almost supersedes the standard of it's interiors and as you can see that is really saying something.

Sita Oh Sita Film

Finally a video I shot during 'Wah Wah Girls' theatre production directed by Emma Rice from Kneehigh Theatre for Sadlers Wells and Theatre Royal Stratford East, is out on YouTube for all to see. Shot by Leopard Films, 'Sita Oh Sita', is composed by Niraj Chag and new lyrics by Japjit Kaur. Filmed at
Petticoat Lane marketing in London, the video features almost 100 professional and non-professional dancers.

 

As an actress something 'Bollywood' is always something I've wanted to do so I was thrilled to be asked and jumped at the opportunity. The other character 'Kabir' was played by Shubhum Saraf, a fantastic actor and a lotta fun to work with. I was in my element shooting in bright sunshine on the first day giving it all the ol' Bollywood flavour. It was an honour to have a genuine Bollywood film/tv performer and top Bombay choreographer Javed Sanadi so I was pretty much in my element working with amazing people and the most inspiring group of dancers. Eventually, on the second day, as predicted the British weather reared it's wet head and in true British fashion ended up dancing and singing in the rain!

Enjoy viewing...
