Chet Baker: Like Someone In Love



Chet Baker: Like Someone In Love

Synopsis:
Known as the 'James Dean of Jazz' for his good looks and bad boy reputation, legendary Jazz musician Chet Baker had an extraordinary talent both with his trumpet and his spare and captivating vocal style. But his life off-stage was the antithesis to his cool and subdued stage presence as he grappled with drug related jail time, failed relationships and above all his crippling life- long addiction to drugs. Through songs and narrative, this play looks at Chet Baker's life, his success, his weaknesses and ultimately his demise and sudden death. Did he fall from a hotel window in amsterdam in a drug- induced haze or did he throw himself out when his talent could no longer save him? Writer and performer David Goldthorpe says "if you don't know who Chet Baker is, you should." Like Someone in Love is "a no-holds barred glimpse at who Chet Baker really was. It's a chance to get closer to the real Chet Baker than you ever would by picking up a book or reading a CD cover."
