Who Wants To Live Forever?
Sunday 13 May 5pm, Slung Low's HUB
Who Wants To Live
Forever is a jazz fantasy about loss, love and hope set among the stars.
Created by
singer/performer Cheryl Martin, Who Wants To Live Forever is about one
woman’s life-long love for music, for the stars, and for her lost baby
brother. It’s about camping holidays and friendship; about learning how
to sing so that you can sing to the stars; about loss and memory, and
turning memory into myths of Amazon princesses sailing the skies.
Who Wants To Live
Forever combines science fact, real-world psychological observation, and
autobiography with lots and lots of live jazz vocals to ask why some
stars shine more brightly than others, human and celestial, and why
people love to watch them falling. All channelled through the music of
legendary African-American jazz singer Billie Holiday, the first star
Cheryl wished on as a child.

Pritchard’s direction of the piece helps it flow smoothly… Who Wants to
Live Forever [is] interesting and intriguing… Filled with heart.” – North

“Cheryl herself is
captivating in the way she completely engages the audience in her stories

Live Forever is clever, insightful, powerful and entirely brilliant.” –
