What makes cabaret special? It’s a conversation between performers and the audience. No other genre or artform generates such an intimate and rewarding connection!
When did you first get hooked on cabaret? Strangely enough, our hook into cabaret was also the first show we ever did together. The best way to share our love of all things Tom Lehrer turned out to be cabaret, and it opened our eyes to the infinite possibilities the artform opens up for performers!
What’s the strangest thing you’ve seen at a cabaret show? A full house loudly singing along to a comic song we’d written about wartime Germany. Sounds pretty unlikely, right?
What’s your favourite thing about the Melbourne Cabaret Festival? The fact that it exists – and that we’re in it!
Tell us about your show. What’s it about? Tropical Parodies is music you’ve heard a thousand times with lyrics you couldn’t possibly have imagined. Audiences will be treated to a funny and fast-paced show performed by an incredibly talented cast. It’s comedy-cabaret with a warm heart and a twisted mind.
Describe your show with five words. Hilarious, rapidfire, smart, fun and surprising.
How are people going to leave your show feeling? Faces sore from laughing, wanting more!
If you had to condense cabaret into a feeling or emotion, what would it be? Fun. Above all else, cabaret should be fun and inclusive.
What dates and times can I see your show? Thursday July 5 – Saturday July 7 at 7pm.
And at which venue? Kew Court House.
And for what price? $36 full, $33 concession and $30 for Melbourne Cabaret Festival members.
