Alison Moyet: Mama Morton
built 635 days ago
[O]f the recording delay, Alison Moyet decided to try some new things in the interim. Acting was one, as she hit the stage in 2001 to star in Chicago as ”Mama” Morton for a six-month run. As luck would have it, she won a release from her Sony contract that same year and in 2002, she released Homeland, the comeback album that became one of the top-selling albums of the year by a UK female artist. Alison was clearly back in top form.

In 2001 Moyet made her stage debut as corrupt jailer Matron ‘Mama’ Morton in the West End musical Chicago, and ‘promptly stole the show’; ‘the Adelphi’s packed auditorium saluted Ms Moyet’s long overdue return with a deafening cacophony. And then she sang, and the audience fell silent’ (Luke Leitch, Evening Standard 14.08.01). Although Moyet never had ambitions to appear on the stage, she enjoyed it so much that her initial short run was extended to six months.
