This April, as Jazz Appreciation Month shines a spotlight on one of the world’s most timeless art forms, Frome audiences are invited to experience one unforgettable night of live jazz theatre.
On Saturday 18 April 2026, ‘Bennett & Gaga: The Duets Songbook’ will arrive at the Frome Memorial Theatre - a vibrant, theatrical concert celebrating the Grammy Award-winning collaborations that reintroduced the Great American Songbook to a new generation.
With tickets priced at £27, this is a rare chance to experience a show that blends the glamour of old Hollywood and the energy of a live jazz club - all in one evening. And the best news - we’ve got tickets to give away…enter below for your chance to win!
Inspired by the iconic duet albums ‘Cheek to Cheek’ and ‘Love for Sale’, this production brings their celebrated arrangements to life with a full live band and two charismatic vocalists at its heart.
The show is produced and performed by vocalists Andrew Bourn and Hannah White. What began as a shared love of these iconic albums quickly became something bigger. Rather than waiting for an opportunity, the pair chose to build the show themselves from the ground up - shaping everything from the staging to the design, promotion and production.
“It means the show has been built with real care,” says Hannah, “We’ve created something we truly believe in — not just as performers, but as music lovers.”
For longtime fans of classic jazz and crooners, it offers nostalgia and timeless elegance.
For younger audiences, it provides a fresh, vibrant entry point into the genre.
The result is a show that is inclusive, uplifting and full of life - where grandparents and grandchildren, jazz lovers and first-time listeners alike can share in the same experience.
With the arts facing ongoing challenges across the UK, this performance is also a reminder of the importance of supporting live theatre and music at a local level.
Frome’s rich creative community makes it the perfect setting for a show that celebrates artistry, collaboration and the enduring power of live performance.
An absolutely fabulous night, an incredible show with talented performers.
Following a sold-out debut, audiences have already described the show as electric, uplifting and “like a West End production.”
Coming to Frome as part of Jazz Appreciation Month, this is one night only - a chance to step into a world of swing, storytelling and sheer musical joy.
