Jarvis Cocker and Chilly Gonzales will perform new music as part of their new “multi-media musical entertainment” endeavor, NME reports. “Room 29: Jarvis Cocker & Chilly Gonzales” happens at London's Barbican Theatre from March 23-25. A press release describes the show as “a song-cycle concerning the goings-on in Room 29 of the Château Marmont hotel in Hollywood.” Gonzales provides the music, Cocker wrote the lyrics. There are also clips from old films and live dancing. The show will tell the stories of Jean Harlow, Howard Hughes, and other famous figures. It's based on the writings of film historian David Thomson. Find more info here.
Cocker said in a statement:
“For the duration of one evening the entire audience will be occupants of Room 29. You will be greeted by our concierge and you will be given a key. Sit down, get comfortable—it will be our pleasure to serve up a night of entertainment like no other: Room 29 may be a real location in Hollywood, California—but it is also a place within each one of us. Through this collection of songs we hope to open the door to that room for all those of you who wish to explore it. How’s that for Room Service?”
