Cabaret stars Jake Shears and Rebecca Lucy Taylor to hold in conversation event in London.

Scissor Sisters’ frontman Jake Shears and Rebecca Lucy Taylor aka Self Esteem will share the stage for an evening of theatrical conversation this December.

The event is billed as an intimate conversation between friends with the pair discussing their icons and inspirations, musical and otherwise. The two stars will also delve into their time on stage, providing insight into their shared West End experience playing The Emcee and Sally Bowles in Cabaret at the Playhouse theatre.

Outside of their current theatrical roles, both Jake and Rebecca Lucy have richly established musical careers. Jake Shears, a dynamic force in music, fuses ’70s glitter rock with house and electroclash. As the charismatic Scissor Sisters frontman, he left a significant mark on the LGBTQ community and the U.K. charts. Beyond the band, Shears made waves in theatre, with a Broadway debut in “Kinky Boots” in 2017, co-writing the acclaimed musical “Tammy Faye” in 2022.

Rebecca Lucy Taylor is a BRIT Award and Mercury Prize nominated artist. Praised for tackling important issues around female autonomy and self-love through her intimate, confessional and witty lyricism and anthemic, maximalist pop rhythms, Self Esteem has sold out tours in ever-growing venues across the UK. As Self Esteem, Rebecca Taylor has shaken off the shackles of her indie band past to become the unapologetic pop star she always wanted to be.

The event will take place on Sunday 3rd December at The Cumberland Hotel London.

Doors will open at 5:00pm for guests to take priority seats, enjoy drinks and order dinner ahead of the talk, for meals to be enjoyed as Jake Shears and Self Esteem’s take to the stage at 7:00pm. The talk will be over the course of two hours, with a short break in between. Following the talk there will be a Q&A session with the audience.
