EVERYBODY’S GOT SOMETHING TO HIDE (EXCEPT FOR ME AND MY MONKEY): THE LENNON & MCCARTNEY SONGBOOK
You’ve seen Melissa Langton, Libby O’Donovan and Mark Jones in such winners as The Fabulous Singlettes, Flat On Your Bacharach and The Beautiful Losers. This time they’re messing about with The Great Liverpudlian Songbook. Brilliant new vocal arrangements of all the classics plus a yodelled version of Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da, a Weimar Rocky Raccoon and Live And Let Die with a side order of Wagnerian soprano. You can expect highbrow harmony, lowbrow comedy – and the occasional joke about one-legged ex models. Warning: This show may contain traces of Mull of Kintyre It takes place on Friday July 5 at 8.30pm. Tickets are $39 full, $36 concession and $33 Melbourne Cabaret Festival members.
RUMOUR HAS IT: SIXTY MINUTES INSIDE ADELE
You’re invited to spend an evening with Adele: Grammy goddess, young mum, and potty-mouthed every woman. For one night only, Adele rolls in the deep down under, spilling intimate details about life on the road, love on the rocks and the prick who took a sledge hammer to her heart. Sassy and stirring, it appears in Melbourne following acclaimed seasons in Brisbane, Sydney and on the Gold Coast. It takes place on Saturday July 6 at 6.30pm. Starring Naomi Price as Adele. Tickets are $39 full, $36 concession and $33 Melbourne Cabaret Festival members.
