The A-Z of Cabaret

Aug 9, 2010

Charismatic crooners...sultry songstressess...mind-bending maestros...all presented in a bravura program of dazzling diversity.  Sit back, relax and with wine glass firmly in hand be transported to a realm of intimate live performance with The A-Z of Cabaret, brought to you by the Roma District Arts Council on Wednesday 15 September 2010

The A-Z of Cabaret is on Wednesday 15 September 2010 at the Cultural Centre, Bungil Street, Roma commencing at 6.30pm with a BYO Dinner Basket and Drinks followed by the Show at 7.30pm.  Tickets are Adults $30.00 with concessions available for Arts Council Members and children and can be purchased from Kimlins Camping World.

It's a contemporary cabaret concert which celebrates this dynamic and popular art form and all that it encompasses with music exotic and eclectic, cracking comedy and drastically dramatic divas.  From its beginnings in the public bars of Europe, to the cafes of Paris, the clubs of Berlin, the Music Halls of London, the glamorous Las Vegas showrooms and our own Australian traditions, the audience is taken on a vibrant musical journey by an ensemble of Queensland's finest cabaret performers and musicians.

The ensemble pay homage to some of the finest cabaret performers in history, interpreting the music of Brecht and Jacques Brel, Cole Porter, Peter Allen, Billie Holiday, Shirley Bassey, Frank Sinatra, Gracie Fields, Maurice Chevalier, Nick Cave, The Doors and more!

"Like the court jesters of old, cabaret artists see everything as fair game, it's a place to milk the sacred cows, it's not holds barred, it's political, satirical, lyrical, mystical and musical, a place to lose your inhibitions and enter a world of revelation and provocation that has audiences addicted and pleading for more." - Alison St Ledger.
