‘That’s Entertainment’

A cabaret presentation about the debonair British star Jack Buchanan, featuring the songs he made famous. Devised and performed by Michael Chance with George Hall at the piano.

Michael Chance was born on the day that Buchanan died. Michael has been fascinated by this elegant man since this discovery and was inspired to put together this show which takes us gently through Jack Buchanan’s story; his life, his loves. Michael recreates many of those well-loved songs which include And Her Mother Came Too, They Didn’t Believe Me, Goodnight Vienna and of course his theme song That’s Entertainment.

Songs by the Gershwins, Cole Porter, Arthur Schwartz, Jerome Kern and others.

'A marvellous performer'
John Wallowitch

Michael Chance can take a song you've heard all your life and breathe into it something brighter and fresher than you've ever heard before......he's both a wonderful singer and a touching actor, as elegant as he is knee-slapping funny, and whether you're watching him in his one-man show or Love From Ivor Michael Chance will tickle your fancy and fill your heart with song......'
Carol Hall (Writer Best Little Whorehouse In Texas)

'The epitome of charm, class and hilarity. I adore him!!!'

'Michael Chance’s own personal style and charm fit his Jack Buchanan persona like a well-tailored tux'
