BETTIE PAGE: QUEEN OF THE PINUPS

Rachel Klein to direct Bettie Page, Queen of the Pinups at the Lyric on the West End.

This revealing new bio-musical tells the story of the original revolutionary pin-up model, and pop culture icon, Bettie Page. This concert production stars EastEnders's Shona McGarty.

Director Rachel Klein added: "It's absolutely thrilling to be able to tell this story of Bettie Page, undoubtedly one of the most influential style and countercultural icons of the 20th century, and to explore the tragic and beautiful layers of this remarkable life."

All Bettie wants is to escape her circumstances and live a normal life, yet when she discovers glamour photography in the 1950s, all she wants is the right to be able to do it. Bettie's iconic status is born out of her fierce feminism and fight for personal liberties.

Bettie Page, Queen of Pin-Ups - The Musical chronicles her quest for freedom of expression through seminal moments in history, original songs, and the greatest hits of the 50s and 60s.

Written by Tegan Summer and Collette Freedman with music by Gregory Nabours, directed by Rachel Klein and choreographed by Dollie Henry, the bio-musical uses original songs and the greatest hits of the 1950s and 1860s, chronicling a quest for freedom of expression.
