Olivier-nominated actress and singer Marisha Wallace’s forthcoming album, Live in London, was recorded in front of a full house at the Adelphi Theatre in March 2025. Marisha Wallace is currently the first Black woman to headline a Broadway production of Cabaret as Sally Bowles and opposite Billy Porter.
Marisha says: “Live in London was recorded at the historic Adelphi Theatre—a place that holds my heart. Stepping into Sally Bowles’ shoes night after night has been the thrill of a lifetime, and I can’t wait for fans to experience Cabaret beyond the Kit Kat Club.”
Live in London also includes “Some People” (Gypsy); “Mysterious Ways” (The Colour Purple); Whitney Houston Medley; “The Gods of Nubia” (Aida); “Tomorrow” (Annie); “Shine”; “I Cain’t Say No” (Oklahoma!); “My Man” (Funny Girl); “Miles and Miles” (Jingle Jangle); “Dreamgirls” (Dreamgirls); “Listen” (Dreamgirls); “I Didn’t Plan It” (Waitress); “Adeleide’s Lament” (Guys and Dolls); “Take Back Your Mink” (Guys and Dolls); Etta James Medley; “I Know Where I’ve Been” (Hairspray); Encore: “Proud Mary.”
As part of the plan for the album, Marisha has also just launched an ambitious pledge campaign to enable her to create a three-disc vinyl version of the album.
As she explains, “It has long been my dream to release a 12” record on vinyl, and I’m reaching out to my amazing fans to help support me in my dream – there has been a wonderful resurgence in musical theatre releases on vinyl, particularly on Broadway, and I would love to have mine out in the world.”
Marisha has created an inclusive experience for her fans who have supported her all these years called “The Stage Door Darlings.” Through pledging, they can join and get rewards including signed hand-written song lyrics, personalised video messages, one of her gig dresses, tickets to her performance in Cabaret in New York (along with a meet and greet) and even the chance for Marisha to come and give a unique performance in someone’s home.
Live in London is produced by Ben Robbins and Marisha Wallace and Executive Produced by Van Dean, Brian Spector, Michael Scott, Robbie Rozelle and Neil O’Brien.
Double Olivier-Nominated actress, Marisha Wallace hails from North Carolina, USA where her love of singing began in her local church with her family. She made her Broadway debut in Aladdin directed by Casey Nicholaw and, following that, went into the Original Broadway Cast of Something Rotten. A last-minute request to go to London to take over the role of Effie White in Dreamgirls in the West End, a role she was only supposed to do for three weeks, turned into eight years in the role!
Marisha went onto star in the Original West End Cast of Waitress playing Becky and the revival of Hairspray at the Coliseum playing Motormouth Maybelle. Her formidable performances led to Director Daniel Fish asking her to play Ado Annie in his ground-breaking production of Oklahoma! at the Young Vic Theatre, for which she was nominated for the WhatsOnStage, Evening Standard and Olivier Award for Best Supporting Actress in a Musical. It was quickly followed by another smash-hit revival, Guys and Dolls at the Bridge Theatre directed by Sir Nicholas Hytner, for which she was nominated for the WhatsOnStage, Evening Standard and Olivier Award for Best Actress in a Musical.
On screen Marisha has appeared in the most recent series of Feel Good and Jingle Jangle for Netflix, Almost Never on CBBC, and Aladdin for Disney. Alongside her acting career, she is an international singer-songwriter. She frequently collaborates on new music with songwriting legends Toby Gad (Beyoncé, John Legend) and Steve Anderson (Kylie Minogue). Last year Marisha performed live for HRH King Charles and Queen Camilla on two occasions, as well as at the D-Day at 80 on the BBC, the Royal Variety Performance at the Royal Albert Hall on ITV1, and on Dancing On Ice.
Marisha’s performance as ‘Sally Bowles’ in Rebecca Frecknall’s production of Cabaret in the West End, received critical acclaim.
