What's On

Reuben Kaye - enGORGEd
 

Fast, on the edge and brutally funny, multi-award-winning Australian comedian, singer, and writer, Reuben Kaye makes his grand Melbourne Recital Centre debut with the Victorian premiere of enGORGEd.

Taking over the Elisabeth Murdoch Hall with an 18-piece orchestra in his flashiest, funniest, and most fearless endeavour yet, Reuben is bigger and better than ever (it's in the title). We know because he made us write it down.

Musical Direction and Arrangements by Shanon D Whitelock. Original work commissioned by Adelaide Cabaret Festival.

'Good luck looking anywhere else when Kaye is on stage.' - The Guardian

'★★★★★ Reuben Kaye, compère extraordinaire, one of the brightest lights on the cabaret scene and a man never knowingly underdressed. Reuben Kaye is the antidote we need.' - Broadway World

    Even the instruments are custom-cool, bare down to the bones like the skeletal relics of orchestras of the underworld.

     It’s been almost 15 years since The Book of Mormon premiered on Broadway and even longer since Joseph Smith ‘discovered’ the golden plates that provided the inspiration for the show.

    Steeped in meta-theatricality, A Mirror prompts us to reflect on the status of storytelling, of its place in creating a culture, its manipulation into myth, its power to prick and to prod.

     Step aside The Boy from Oz, there’s a new contender for the title of ‘The Great Australian Musical’.

    Going from that show to Mary said what she said was like going from a Mozart piano concerto to one of the more repetitive pieces by Philip Glass.
