THE hugely popular Limerick performer Jean McGlynn is set for a return to Dolan’s Warehouse on Wednesday
November 17 with her latest solo creation.
VaudeVillains, a ‘Creepy Cabaret of Crackpots, Crooks and Criminals’ will
see Jean perform a newly devised revue show in her trademark cabaret style
complete with costumes, choreography and a four-piece band. The show will
feature Jean McGlynn present her unique interpretations of some well-known
songs from across a range of musical genres.
This ‘cabaret-style production’ will feature a mix of ballads, up-tempo songs, and rock music from the world of film and theatre as well as some classic songs made famous by artists such as Radiohead, Annie Lennox and The Doors.
Speaking at today’s launch Jean McGlynn said: “The idea for this show came
on the back of a lunchtime concert I performed during Samhain in 2019. The
concert was well-received by audiences and I decided to develop the concept
into a longer, full-length production”.
Currently working as a tutor in performance at the Irish World Academy at
the University of Limerick, Jean has devised a show that she describes as a
“darkly comedic revue with something for everyone”.
She will be supported by Musical Director Aiden Boland on piano, John Daly
on drums, Peter Hanagan on bass and Joe O’Callaghan on guitar.
Jean says that getting back to teaching over recent months has been a
much-needed boost and has given her the impetus to start creating once
again.
“The concept for VaudeVillains has been with me for a long time. I had
initially hoped to present the show to Limerick audiences last year but due
to Covid-19, obviously had to be put on hold”, Jean says.
“I am really looking forward to introducing the audience to a newly
devised piece of theatre that is the culmination of a long but really enjoyable
creative process”.
Announcing today’s show, Neil Dolan of Dolans Presents said: “Anyone who
has experienced a Jean McGlynn performance will know the magic she brings to a stage. The song list she has put together is so diverse and I am certain that audiences will once again be wowed by the interpretations she will perform on the night”. VaudeVillains will be performed at Dolans Warehouse on Wednesday, November 17. Ticket are on sale now and can be purchased via www.dolans.ie
