A musical celebration of Victoria Wood’s work is coming to Pembrokeshire.
“Looking For Me Friend: The Music of Victoria Wood” will be performed at Queens Hall in Narberth on Thursday, February 13, 2025, at 7pm.
The show, written and performed by Paulus, known as “The Cabaret Geek,” is part of a fifth anniversary tour.
It is directed by multi-award-winning cabaret artist Sarah-Louise Young and features many of Victoria Wood’s best-loved songs, including “It Would Never Have Worked,” “Reincarnation,” and “Ballad of Barry & Freda (Let’s Do It).”
The show also includes some of her lesser-known and more poignant compositions.
Paulus said: “I’m thrilled that we can continue travelling the UK for another year, celebrating a lost, much-loved friend.
“There’s nothing I love more than meeting fellow fans of the unforgettable Victoria Wood, and introducing a new generation to her wit, wisdom and word-play.”
The acclaimed pianist Michael Roulston will join Paulus on stage.
