“Downton Abbey” star Lesley Nicol... who plays the beloved Mrs. Patmore on the TV show and three successful films... shares her journey through life and show business in a warm and funny musical that she and hit pop songwriter Mark Mueller created together.

​

Through masterful storytelling and 9 original songs written with Mark, the audience learns all about Lesley's trip to the Abbey, starting with her quiet childhood outside Manchester, England, to her first West End part in “Jesus Christ Superstar,” followed by co-starring roles in stage hits like the original London production of “Mamma Mia,” culminating in her worldwide TV and film successes on the SAG-Award winning drama smash, “Downton Abbey.”

 

Lesley and Mark, who accompanies her on piano on stage, cover the highs and lows of her show biz career, including all the bumps along the way. The songs are funny, poignant, honest and occasionally outrageous… just like Lesley’s life.

 

But the Off-Broadway Alliance nominated show is not just about Lesley’s life… it’s about everyone’s. We’re all trying to make sense of where we are these days. Don’t we all ask ourselves at some point, “How the hell did I get here?” By the end of the night, you'll have gotten some answers, had a lot of laughs and maybe even shed a tear or two.

​

Mark and Lesley recently completed their successful Off-Broadway run in NYC after performances in Chicago, London, and Hong Kong and look forward to doing more shows soon.
