Nat King Cole: Colin Roy's exquisite voice and charismatic and immaculate appearance superbly capture the magic and evoke the genius of Nat King Cole whose songs have spanned decades, touching and romancing many generations with his far reaching genre of music.

Nat King Cole was a truly remarkable character; his big break came in 1943 when he was signed to the newly formed Capitol Records.  Nat soon became Capitol's most successful recording artist and their premises - the Capitol Records Tower on Hollywood and Vine - eventually became known as The House That Nat Built, hence the title of the show.  First premiered at New End Theatre, London and currently on a UK tour, The House That Nat Built takes you on an exciting musical journey sharing some of Nat King Cole's fascinating life story with the injection of some rib tickling humour.

From the wealth of material that Nat King Cole recorded, this outstanding production brings you over twenty six beautiful ballads and foot tapping numbers. Classic songs including Route 66, Smile, When I Fall In Love, Too Young and Mona Lisa. The shows script is authenticated by Roy Holmes who heads the Nat King Cole International Fan Club and was recently featured on BBC Television -The World of Nat.  

In association with the British Philharmonic Orchestra and Winston Rollins from the Jools Holland Rhythm & Blues Orchestra.  Directed by Danny John-Jules (Red Dwarf).

Colin Roy and his Swing Quartet, skilfully led by musical director Steve Hill, with special guest artistes; brings you a truly unforgettable evening.

Available for theatre or cabaret, private and corporate events - anywhere where a requirement for excellence is required.
