In 1943 Nat King Cole was signed to Capitol Records, situated in the heart of Hollywood. Nat's big break came whilst he was playing at the Radio Room in Los Angeles, he was heard by Johnny Mercer one of the executive producers at Capitol who quickly signed him to their label. Nat soon became their most successful recording artiste and eventually their new premises - the Capitol Records Tower on Hollywood and Vine, would become known as `The House That Nat Built’.

March 17th 2005 marked the 40th Anniversary of the legendary Nat King Cole. Acclaimed West End performer Colin Roy stars in this exciting new revue show some have called `an evening of pure nostalgia’. This unparalleled production brings you a succession of classic songs including UNFORGETTABLE, WHEN I FALL IN LOVE, MONA LISA, SMILE, TOO YOUNG, SWEET LORRAINE and echoes the history of this incomparable character.

Colin called upon fellow performer and friend Danny John-Jules to direct the show and just like Mr. Roy; he is a veteran of several hit West End shows. Between them they have appeared in Barnum, Cats, Sweet Charity, Starlight Express, Five Guys Named Moe, Carmen Jones, Destry Rides Again, Time, and Smokey Joe’s Café. This is a journey into a world long left behind but fondly remembered. The script is authenticated by Roy Holmes, head of the Nat King Cole International Fan Club. Roy was recently featured in the BBC Television documentary `The World Of Nat’.

Don’t wait for your neighbour to tell you about it, book now and witness it for yourself. Seeing is believing!
