In April & May 2023 we will be touring with the fabulous award-winning actor and singer Lucie Jones, the UK representative at Eurovision 2017.

Fulltone Orchestra concerts 2023 

The amazing Fulltone Orchestra and West End star Lucie Jones  are coming together to bring you a wonderful evening of music from stage and screen.

Take a trip from the 1930s to the present day with songs from huge West End hits and classic numbers from musical films including Wicked, Waitress, Les Miserables and West Side Story.

Concerts like this don’t come along all that often…

Backed by the fifty musicians of the Fulltone Orchestra, Lucie’s gorgeous voice will sound truly magical. This is a bigger band than most West End shows and so it’s your chance to hear these songs like you’ve never heard them before.

This will be a night you will not stop talking about for a long time – if you love live music, with one of the UK’s biggest stars and an orchestra with some of the top musicians around, you just do not want to miss this!

The Fulltone Orchestra will not just be joined by Lucie but also by two of her best friends in musical theatre – David Hunter (Waitress, Once, Kinky Boots in the West End) and Helen Woolf (Sweeney Todd, Wicked and Rachel in Friends: The Musical).

Which songs will you hear?

The songs chosen have been handpicked by Lucie and Anthony Brown (Musical Director).

The programme of music really does have something for everyone. A new version of Joni Mitchell’s Both Sides Now (as featured in Love Actually) has been arranged specifically for these concerts. It’s stunning!

Also on the setlist are:

  • All That Jazz from Chicago
  • Buenos Aires from Evita
  • Over the Rainbow from The Wizard of Oz
  • Defying Gravity from Wicked
  • I Dreamed a Dream from Les Misérables
  • Anything You Can Do I Can Do Better from Annie Get Your Gun
  • Let It Go from Frozen
  • I Will Always Love You from The Bodyguard
Here’s the full setlist:

Lucie performed this track at the live final to a worldwide audience of over 300 million viewers, garnering the best result for the UK in many years.

In 2020, Lucie performed a live solo concert to a sell-out audience at London’s Adelphi Theatre, accompanied by the London Musical Theatre Orchestra. The concert was recorded for a self-titled live album released in 2020. Lucie toured in late 2021 with her live band concluding in another sell-out house at His Majesty’s theatre, London.
