‘All Or Nothing’, the Mod Musical is coming to the London stage in March 2016 and is on sale now.
The show was written by Carol Harrison, an award-winning actress well known for her years of theatre and TV work, and who has also been writing for the last 20 years. ‘All Or Nothing’ is directed by BAFTA winner Tony McHale known, of course, for his body of work as a television writer, and now in film. The show is sponsored by Ben Sherman, and is endorsed and supported by many of those who feature in its story.
There is to be a Snap Gallery exhibition starting in March at The Vaults Theatre, which will host the show. ‘All Or Nothing’ tells the exciting, poignant, and bittersweet tale of Kenney Jones, Ian McLagan, Ronnie Lane and Steve Marriott; four charismatic young kids with humour, attitude, passion and above all talent. The Small Faces were rocketed them into the ‘big time’ only to discover the path to fantastic success is heaving with exploitation, corruption, betrayal and ultimately tragedy.
Telling this rollercoaster story of The Small Faces, ‘All Or Nothing’ features a band which lives and breathes the music, including Chris Simmons [The Bill] as Steve Marriott. The show truly celebrates the unique sound of the iconic Mod band. The show is of course packed full if some of those timeless hits, including the brilliant ’Whatcha Gonna Do About It,’ ‘All or nothing,’ Tin Soldier’,’ Lazy Sunday,’ ‘Here Comes the Nice’ and ‘Itchycoo Park’.
The band’s rollercoaster journey in the music business was as vivid and colourful as their music. They created an electrifying raw sound, and an arsenal of classic hit records. It is this incendiary musical muscle and instrumental virtuosity that makes their appeal timeless. The show has already been performed to wildly appreciative audiences, with previous events featuring the likes of PP Arnold, Mollie Marriott, Chris Farlowe and Danny Dyer who said, “‘All Or Nothing’ has got it all; Drama, pathos, humour and style. Not to mention brilliant music!”
The show was launched at an event at the legendary Bag O’ Nails Club, attended by the cast and crew from the show, celebrity guests, but also some familiar faces from the era. PP Arnold flew in especially for the launch and sang on the night. She was thrilled to be coming back to the Bag O’ Nails where she regularly played in the 1960s and where she also first met Jimi Hendrix who asked if he could jam with her band.
The show will open at The Vaults Theatre, Lancelot Street, London, SE1 7AD on 31st March 2016 and run until 30th April
