Hips, Harmony & Hitler is a stirring spectacle driven by unforgettable tunes, glamour, colourful costuming and the unique talents and distinctive personalities of 'Our Gracie' (Gracie Fields), 'Marlene' (Marlene Dietrich) and the 'Brazilian Bombshell' (Carmen Miranda). These irrepressible women of the 20th Century are all brought to life onstage by Marion Martin in a performance that holds your attention from start to finish.

Hips, Harmony and Hitler pays homage to a bleak time in our history and reminds us about the vital role these three extraordinary women played in uplifting public morale during the darkest days of World War 11.

The archival footage of World War 11 adds to the excitement of the show, but it's the music - the Latin rhythms of Carmen Miranda, the soul-searching ballads of Marlene Dietrich, and the witty sing-along songs of Gracie Fields that truly soars, as it's marvellously talented leading lady unleashes the kind of vocal magic that needs no bolstering.

Set in a London theatre during the Blitz, the audience experience the excitement of being all in it together as they sing along, have a laugh and perhaps even shed a tear, reliving those momentous days when ordinary people came together as one to save their way of life.

Wonderfully realised by Marion Martin’s irresistible performance, one magnificent song after another completely captures the mood and spirit of an extraordinary time and three extraordinary women

No one leaves this performance untouched.

"A Marvellous Show!" "Wonderful memories!" "Loved it!"

"Brought tears to my eyes". " A Brilliant performer!"

"Thoroughly enjoyed it!" "Took me back to my childhood"
