Ute Lemper

World renowned German chanteuse Ute Lemper makes a welcome return to the UK stage performing songs from throughout her illustrious and celebrated career, including selections from her new album Time Traveller.

With a career spanning four decades, Ute is one of the world’s most exciting and respected performers having achieved success on the concert stage, Broadway, the West End and as an acclaimed recording artiste.

Her roles in musicals include playing Sally Bowles in the original Paris production of Cabaret, for which she won the 1987 Molière Award for Best Newcomer, and Velma Kelly in the revival of Chicago in both London and New York, which won her the 1998 Olivier Award for Best Actress in a Musical.

Known for her unsurpassed interpretations of Brecht and Weil, Ute is regarded as the premier interpreter of their works and continues to record the chanson of Brel and Piaf alongside multilingual material by Phillip Glass, Sondheim, Ferre, and Piazzolla.
