Comparing Notes with Liv Andrusier

Comparing Notes brings stars of the West End and Broadway to Crazy Coqs. In a lively and informal mix of performance and conversation host Edward Seckerson will be getting up close and personal with these musical theatre luminaries and emerging stars, exploring the stories behind the songs and the personalities behind the artistry.

For this show, Edward will be joined by rising star Liv Andrusier, who recently received rave reviews for her outstanding performance as Annie Londonderry in new musical RIDE at Charing Cross Theatre.

“Liv Andrusier’s performance sometimes feels like an extended audition for Funny Girl… and that’s not a criticism. Andrusier nails every single aspect of the role with an assurance and magnetism that takes the breath away. She’s very funny, entirely engaging, and has a stunning voice that soars through Smith and Williams’s vocal demands with sweetness and confidence. She’s a real find.” WhatsOnStage  ★★★★

“Liv Andrusier delivers a barnstorming performance.” The Stage  ★★★★

“Andrusier is a fizzing rocket of a performer, utterly in control of the show and demanding every lumen of the spotlight she and her creation deserve. Andrusier digs in deep to create a rounded, very real woman struggling with identity, purpose, prejudice and loneliness. Wow, can Andrusier handle a tune… A star is born.” Musical Theatre Review  ★★★★★
