Beverley Knight and Ntombizodwa Ndlovu perform Up Above My Head in the rehearsal room for Marie and Rosetta, with Music Supervisor, Arranger and Orchestrator Liam Godwin on piano and Musical Director Shirley Tetteh on guitar.
This sparkling, intimate portrait of Rosetta and her beloved singing partner, Marie Knight, restores these forgotten musical heroines to the spotlight as one of the most remarkable and revolutionary duos in music history.
Marie and Rosetta plays at the Rose Theatre from 2 - 24 May, Wolverhampton Grand from 27 - 31 May and with us in the Minerva from 25 June - 26 July.

CFT strives to bring people - artists and those who support artistic work - together in an environment where creativity can flourish. Alongside our tradition of producing great plays with great actors, CFT seeks out innovative and exciting voices in order to explore newer forms of theatre, alongside our traditional repertoire.
We are committed to supporting individuals in developing their creative, artistic, personal and social skills alongside a life-long enjoyment and appreciation of the arts. Our ambition is to promote inclusivity, accessibility and diversity, and to ensure rich opportunities for all people, regardless of age, culture and social background, to feel inspired, challenged and excited by the arts.
Situated in a cathedral city in West Sussex between the South Downs and the sea, the Festival Theatre’s bold thrust stage design makes it one of England’s most striking playhouses; our studio theatre, the Minerva Theatre, sits nearby.
