What's On

The Strangeways Cabaret
 

LOVE. We all want it. We all need it. We all like to sing about it.

The Strangeways Cabaret takes audiences on an antics-fuelled ride that packs a surprising emotional punch.

Original songs about online dating, loneliness and broken promises, share the stage with duelling eyebrows, glamorous drag queens, and stories of killer spiders and lovelorn vampires to create a joyful celebration of life and love in all its forms.

Since 2021, the Cabaret has been an annual event on the Merrigong calendar but this year, The Strangeways Ensemble are spreading the love and taking it on the road to regional venues and including local artists as special guests in the lineup. With a live cabaret band and whole lot of heart, The Strangeways Cabaret promises unique takes on one of the most explored human emotions – love.

    The script is based on a true story, although this dramatisation can feel somewhat contrived, with important assertions not interrogated, and credibility stretched as a result.

    Izzard: The Tragedy of Hamlet
    To Shakespeare’s text be true is the obvious goal here, and writer, director and actor have each scored.

    In the care of Pinchgut Opera’s director, Erin Helyard, this music, formulaic as it indeed is in some respects, sprang off the page into an experience rich in emotions.

    Even when individual works did not fully land for me dramaturgically, there is no denying the precision, intelligence and care of the artists creating them.

    Unabashedly and unapologetically entertaining, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels delights in its hoax hokum, a whimsical hustle of musical comedy bustle.
