ICONS by Le Gateau Chocolat
Original Soundtrack from Le Gateau Chocolat's award winning solo show 'ICONS'
Walking the tightrope between his public and private personas, Le Gateau Chocolat explores the people, the moments, the relationships, the art that have come to shape us and the ideals we aspire to.
Accompanied by a live band, Gateau unashamedly weaves through an eclectic mix of music; pop, opera, rock; Kate Bush, Whitney, Meatloaf, Pavarotti... investigating his own objects of worship through the songs and music of his personal icons.
‘His voice is both delicate and gloriously meteorological, his ceiling-lifting baritone rich and silky as a Lindor truffle and resonant as a bell.’ The Stage
Singing 6 favourite songs from the show, produced, arranged, recorded and mixed by Marty Hailey at Chamber Studios.

The opera-occasional, lycra-loving, black-beard, drag-diva Le Gateau Chocolat
A one-man, larger-than-life musical phenomenon, wrapped in dazzling sequinned lycra.
The six-and-half foot tall, six-inch heeled, wig-clad wonder swings wildly from one end of the musical spectrum to another, from disco, opera, musicals and pop.
