About the Show

Celebrating thirty years of the iconic film Breaking Glass,  award winning singer-songwriter Hazel O’Connor makes her long awaited return to the West End Stage in this very special one-off show, set in two halves and two formats.

As a grand finale to a hectic 30th Anniversary year of touring, Hazel and The Subterraneans, augmented by stunning saxophonist Clare Hirst (Bellestars, Communards, David Bowie) perform all the songs from this groundbreaking film, live in London, for the first time ever alongside an exclusive 'taster preview' of Hazel's acclaimed new genre -The Bluja Project.
BREAKING GLASS LIVE melds Hazel's superb vocals with Clare’s exquisite sax and The Subterraneans’ own distinctive blend of guitars, bass and drums.  Relive those classic tracks from Will You and Eighth Day to previously un-performed gems including Writing on The Wall and Top of The Wheel.

“… this is the first time ever I have played all of the songs from BG in a live situation … we recorded them but when we went on the road, we didn’t sing every one and now we are doing them all.  It’s kind of  amazing,”  says Hazel.

In forming The Bluja Project, Hazel teamed up with legendary performers - CLARE HIRST and pianist/vocalist SARAH FISHER (Eurythmics, Sax In The City).  

This exciting new collaboration which debuted to sell-out houses earlier this year, suits Hazel's voice so well, the superb blend of the three voices add a touch of class to their vibrant performance.
From iconic figure and BAFTA nominated actress in 1980 cult movie Breaking Glass, to consistently writing, recording and performing, Hazel’s sultry vocals continues to woo and delight audiences worldwide.

“The year was 1980. The UK slid into recession and inflation stood at 18 per cent. Amid the doom and gloom - a film that captured the era precisely and made an unknown singer-songwriter from Coventry
