Special guest just announced is Emma Hatton! And it was all going so well! Ha, not starting any rows, I just don't think Emma is particularly talented. Still, this concert will be wonderful - Tucker is a superstar.

I'm sorry, I tried so hard not to laugh about Emma being the special guest, but I just couldn't help it.

I cannot believe I was the only one from this forum at Shoreditch Town Hall on Saturday night? If I was then you all missed a real treat.
I’ve seen Rachel do shows like this many times over the years but this was the biggest one yet with a 9 piece band, two backing singers (Jodie Steele and Amanda Coutts), a special guest duet-ist (is that even a word?!), Emma Hatton, and a choir of young people also coming onto the stage at several intervals. All led by the watchful eye of MD, Kris Rawlinson. It was a year ago that Kris and Rachel had a chance meeting and began to work together and what has followed has been a collaboration all kinds of wonderful.
She has the most beautiful voice, that we already know, but she also has that special something, likability, modesty and warmth about her that distinguishes her from so many others. It’s not just a musical performer stepping up and singing a few songs, it is so much more than that.
We were treated to songs from her album, from the shows and songs that are important to her and what an evening it was! About two hours’ worth of pure, flawless brilliance. Backed by a 9 piece band and the choir she has never sounded so good. There was laughter, there were tears.
I ended up sitting near Suzie Mathers who was bopping away in her seat all evening. Kerry Ellis also came and sit nearby too. It was almost too much for my inner fangirl to cope with.
If Rachel Tucker does a concert, a play, a musical, anything….. go!! Broadway is going to claim her back before too long and we might not get her back (that’s the excuse I regularly use to my long suffering bank manager, anyway…)

I was there too and agree it was fantastic, I think the weakest part of the show was Emma Hatton.

On The Road, with 7 new tracks, has just been released on Spotify and Amazon Music (and will apparently be on iTunes very soon!) and oh my it's wonderful. I've played the original version of the album to death, and these new tracks are absolutely incredible, including some audience favourites from the Live at Zedel shows and a wonderful duet with Rebecca Trehearn. I'm constantly astounded by how talented Rachel Tucker is.

Good god. I'm listening to her album now. Shes just such a talent, we are so lucky to have her! It's so good to hear her sing songs in a different style, that aren't just Wicked songs. I really hope we see her take on another leading role soon. If the one I heard a while back comes true, this bitch (me) will die happy. Her in that role, dead.

Her next venture is in an ITV drama playing a Yorkshire lass! Not a big part but very exciting nonetheless.
Then I fear we will lose her to Broadway. Again 😢

Still, this concert will be wonderful - Tucker is a superstar. Sorry - and not starting a row just my opinion - I would say its the other way round. (Expecting to be shot down in flames.)

Emma is doing a concert soon with Fane Productions, who were also behind Rachel's Shoreditch show which may suggest why she was asked to do it.

I’ve just put a ticket for sale on the noticeboard for the Magic of Animation concert next weekend if anyone wants a cheap one - it’s in the stalls and it’s not much money!!
Also put one on the noticeboards for the Monday Zedel gig too - please help a guy out and spread the word, i could do with some money back on these !

She said a while back there would be news in september. The interviewer also said Spring and rachel said it wasnt anything new so an existing show. I still say its come from away or waitress. She has been doing Lempicka a new musical in williamstown for 2 weeks with Eden epinosa and carmen cusack which will transfer to broadway / off broadway. But rachel said she wont be in it when it transfers. So again she must have something lined up. it maybe waitress but possibly waiting until there is an announcement about Strictly closing. not sure about waitress broadway they always seem to want stars names. Also rumours that jagged little pill may be going into that theatre so will waitress broadway still be around.

If Waitress does open in London with Rachel as Jenna then I think I will literally combust.

Rachel is also appearing in 'There Is Nothing Like A Dame', a concert celebrating women in musical theatre, on 30th August at Cadogan Hall. Louise Dearman is also appearing so every moveable body part is crossed for a green-themed duet 💚
Also featuring Alexia Khadime and Ria Jones. TodayTix currently has £10 off Cadogan's prices.

TINLAD18 also gets you £10 off all prices for the Cadogan Hall concert, and means you can avoid TodayTix's fees.

There's at least one 'Tuckman' duet lined up for tomorrow night at Cadogan Hall - there's footage on Rachel's Instastory today of her rehearsing 'In His Eyes' from Jekyll & Hyde with Louise 😀👏💚
EDIT: there's an even longer/better/more belty clip on Rachel's Twitter feed. Goosebumps on goosebumps.

Wish I was there too but can’t make it. I’m a huge fan of Rachel and a fan of Ria plus I’d love to see Louise and Alexia live.

Am guessing Rachel’s performing with Shoshana Bean at the Cadogan Hall concert tomorrow looking at Shoshana’s Instagram stories.
