Deniece Pearson is pondering on her year and a half spent in Harrogate and Leeds on a show celebrating jazz legends of the past.
In 2009, Pearson diversified into musical theatre, appearing in the West End show Thriller Live. She says it was nice to honour Michael Jackson’s musical legacy. “Adrian Grant, who’s the producer of Thriller Live, contacted me on MySpace at the time,” she says. “He was a huge Five Star fan so he got in contact and asked me to come down and audition.
Looking back, Pearson thinks her 15-year-old self would be proud of the fact that she’s managed to maintain a 40-year career. “She’d be absolutely delighted – and she’d probably think, ‘Wow, I’ve really grown into my face,’” she chuckles. “You know at that age when you’re 14, 15 and you’ve got this chubby look going on and then you get to 19, 20 and then 30 and you kind of settle into your face.”
Forever Young is out now. Deniece Pearson plays a Five Star 40th Anniversary Special at Pizza Express Live in London on September 30, followed by two Absolute 80s Weekenders at Butlins Bognor Regis on November 3 and Butlins Skegness on November 25.
