Close To You: Bacharach Reimagined

Criterion Theatre

General Managed

Having triumphed in New York with rave reviews, the wildly successful celebration of Burt Bacharach’s songbook CLOSE TO YOU transferred to the Criterion Theatre in the heart of London’s West End.

The show premiered to critical acclaim at New York Theatre Workshop, original home of both Once and Rent, becoming the longest running show in the history of that theatre, followed by a sold out and highly acclaimed run at The Menier Chocolate Factory.

Directed by Olivier Award-winner Steven Hoggett, performed by a young group of multi-talented musicians and led by the visionary musician and performer Kyle Riabko, the show featured thrillingly fresh yet beautifully faithful re-interpretations of Bacharach’s classic songs, blending nostalgia and innovation.
