King for a Day: The Nat King Cole Story at YTR for one night only

Prepare to be entertained, as King for a Day: The Nat King Cole Story takes over the Main House Stage at York Theatre Royal. Featuring world-class live music, alongside narration and projected archive images and footage, this is a unique concert celebrating one the greatest vocalists and entertainers of the Twentieth Century: Nat ‘King’ Cole.

Featuring acclaimed vocalist, Atila, alongside a world-class group of musicians, this thoughtful and entertaining new show takes a fresh look at the life and work of the timeless Nat King Cole. Cole’s vocal styling in songs such as Nature Boy, Unforgettable and When I Fall in Love continue to define a golden era of music, as well as earning him a place in the history of American music as one of the most iconic vocalists of all time.

Following sell-out shows at London’s Hippodrome and Ronnie Scott’s, and featuring all of Nat King Cole’s most celebrated songs, stylish reworkings of his lesser-known gems, as well as rare archive images and footage – this is a unique evening celebrating one of music’s all-time greats.
