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.
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.
