Cruise & River
Sadie is an award-winning international cabaret artist with over 30 years experience performing on the variety and musical theatre stage. Ever since being awarded the titles of Clubland Act of the Year and Talk of the Coast Blackpool winner in the mid-90s, Sadie has toured the UK and Europe extensively, with clients including Seabourn and Cunard cruise lines.
Career highlights include touring UK theatres as the comedy lead of Ado Annie in Oklahoma, leading lady Nancy in Oliver and starring roles in pantomimes such as Snow White and Sleeping Beauty. She has performed with the John Wilson Orchestra and recorded with Boy George at Abbey Road Studios in London.
As well as supporting comedians both on board cruise ships and at corporate events, Sadie's 'star-turn' is as described by The Stage newspaper with her 'lightning-speed chameleon-like costume changes and powerful vocals making her one of the best cabaret acts on the scene.'
With an extensive repertoire in musical theatre, Sadie is also an accomplished guest entertainer, variety act, host, compere, guest speaker and cruise director. She has performed in musical duos, function bands, swing bands and production shows but her forte can be found in her passion for the All-American songbook alongside the Hollywood golden age incorporating the Roaring 20s/Flirty 30s/Fancy 40s and Fabulous 50s.
Regularly compared to all-time greats such as Sarah Vaughan, Ella Fitzgerald, Doris Day and Bette Midler, Sadie's impressive repertoire is both wide-ranging and varied having honed her craft over a period of decades.
