Description
All the world’s a stage, let’s protect it. Multi Olivier Award-winning West End star Janie Dee (National Theatre’s The Motive and the Cue and Follies; Stephen Sondheim’s Old Friends) confronts the climate crisis, and celebrates our beautiful world, through song and spoken word. Unusual and inspiring guests join this green twist on classic cabaret, asking how we can each make a difference in the fight for our planet. Playful, radical, informative, and ultimately hopeful. ‘Is there a more enchanting actress on the British stage than Janie Dee?’ (Times). ‘Passionately green... hilarious... pure class’ (MusicalTheatreReview.com).Please note that while all media gallery content is provided by verified members of the event, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society does not review or approve this content before it is posted.

What a show. I went to support Sophia Priolo & left fully invested in the artistry of her & the rest of the team behind this production.
At once a joyful & beautifully elegant performance that not only highlights the ills of our world but also those endeavouring to keep it well.
The musicianship of each player was superb. The inclusion of each was tasteful & enhanced Janie's storytelling perfectly. I swayed & smiled & had the most beautiful voices of Janie & her support gracing my ears.
The lighting design further drew the energy of the room to each performer as they had their moments to shine.
Each person involved should be proud of their work & I hope as many people as possible can come to see this show. It made me fall in love with Creation again!

Having seen Janie Dee numerous times, we were so delighted to see she was performing at the Fringe. Sadly, we were disappointed. As much as we are concerned about the planet, I did not expect this topic to be the focus of the show. It took away from the entertainment value for us.

The fabulous Janie Dee in Pleasance Dome at the fringe? Yes please! She is an absolute west end star and this show does now disappoint. It’s a proper cabaret as well. It was just fab - it deserves to be sold out every day!

An absolute treat to see Janie Dee perform in such an intimate space, accompanied by some superb musicians and dancers. Special mention to Josephina Ortiz-Lewis who sings beautifully. The whole thing is beautifully staged, but I must single out 'A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square' which was perfection in its choreography, orchestrations.. everything. And all underlined by an important message. Really recommend it.

This inspiring and heart warming show is an absolute feast for the senses, packed full of really high level talent which will keep you thoroughly entertained and take you on a powerful emotional journey. Incredible singing of wonderful songs, majestic dancing, masterful musicians it’s got it all AND it tells the most important story there is.
When you live your life from your heart with so much love for others as Janie clearly does, the move towards helping the planet is almost inevitable. After all, if we want to best for people, we have to want the best for the planet!
Janie has done this in a refreshing way with a real sensitivity to the audience which leaves you feeling positive, inspired and hopeful. No rabbit holes of doom and gloom or guilt trips here!
A wonderful show for all ages - I highly recommend it!

I was very excited to see that Janie would be at the Fringe, having loved her in Follies. The show did not disappoint with not only Janie's fabulous vocals, but amazing musicians, guest singers and dancers in support. We also learned some fascinating facts about the natural world (I'll also be thinking about trees in a different way going forward).
Highly recommend this wonderful hour of cabaret to everyone!

Absolute class! A highly talented group who have used their talents SO successfully to spread a critically important message - and great that you've all cared enough to do it soooo well.
Very best wishes with spreading the word in the rest of this Edinburgh Fringe.
