Marisha says: “Live in London was recorded on the historic Adelphi Theatre—a spot that holds my coronary heart, the place I as soon as took to the stage evening after evening in Waitress, pouring my soul into each music. This album is a labour of affection, a celebration of the music that introduced me right here, and a thank-you to each one who’s been a part of this extraordinary journey.
“Each song on this album tells a chapter of that story. The anthems you’ve loved me for, the ballads that held my heart and the showstoppers that lit the path forward. This is more than a concert—it’s a reminder that you don’t have to start with much to become something extraordinary.”
