One Night Records offers a one-of-a-kind event: a live odyssey through music’s greatest decades, which returns on February 17, with a whole host of themed nights. The evenings here draw musical inspiration from the early 20th century to create an adventure through the history of music. As you wander from room to room, you’ll be treated to a new era – and on Saturday, February 19, the London Bridge line up will have a theatrical twist!
Teaming up with The Theatre Cafe, One Night Records will host The West End in One Night. The night will be headlined by musical actress Laura Pick, who has previously starred in the iconic role of Elphaba in Wicked, as well as roles in The Sound of Music and Anyone Can Whistle.
As you step under the arches of London Bridge, lose yourself in a world of talented musicians and themed sets that’ll bring celebrated eras to life – live music lives here. Inside a maze of tunnels, you’ll travel through time at your own pace – from peak 50’s Rock’n’Roll through wartime boogie, and back into the golden heyday of Jazz, the dusty blues shack, and a brassy blast of funk in New Orleans. It’s like a playlist come to life, and will make for an experience like no other. At The West End in One Night, these distinctive genres will get a little sprinkle of musical magic to create a show unlike anything you’ve ever heard before.
If musical theatre doesn’t excite you, fear not. There will be a plethora of other themed nights throughout the season, including The Heartbreakers Ball, St Patrick’s Day, Mardi Gras, and many more – music enthusiasts will enjoy the intriguing Billie Holiday’s Birthday theme. Every night is tailored to the theme and you’ll find changes in the nightly lineup extend to comedians, dancers, films and pretty much anything else!
After all the singing and dancing, you’re sure to have worked up an appetite. Not only will in-house kitchen Millies feed your stomach, but much like the music, it’ll feed your heart too. Alongside lip-smacking jambalaya, cornbread, ribs, and wings, the five themed bars at One Night Records will serve up tasty cocktails, so be sure to make a pitstop along your musical adventure for a Soho Street raspberry daiquiri, or zesty Tequila Sunrise.
To truly immerse yourself in the different worlds, come dressed up in gear that corresponds to your favourite era. Think cowboy boots, flapper dresses, or even go all out with a Chuck Berry-esque red guitar… There are a host of ticket options to suit the night you’re after, from simple entry to entrance, main meal and welcome drink. Hey, if you’re there for the whole evening, you’ll need to fuel up for your adventure.
