Cabaret Ticket Giveaway

What good is sitting, alone in your room? Come hear the music play at David M Hawkins’ 2017 production of Cabaret! Following a sell-out season in Sydney, the Kit Kat Klub is returning to Melbourne in all its decadence for a new Australian revival of Cabaret playing at The Athenaeum Theatre from 27 April!

Winner of 12 Tony Awards, 8 Academy Awards and 7 BAFTA Awards, Cabaret wows audiences and critics alike time and time again sky-rocketing the careers its starts.  Fifty years ago in 1966 the original Broadway production made a household name of Joel Grey who shook audiences as The Emcee.  Two years later an unassuming Judi Dench stole the show as Sally Bowles on London’s West End.  Arguably the most iconic movie musical of all time made a star of Liza Minnelli when she brought Sally Bowles to the silver screen directed by Bob Fosse.

Cabaret in its musical form is based on The Berlin Stories by famous author Christopher Isherwood who exchanged his upper-middle-class conservative upbringing for the sexual freedom and social liberation of Berlin during the bustling 1930s.  Cabaret the musical, adapted by song and lyrics team Kander and Ebb, became a semi-biographical portrait of Isherwood’s life, celebrating life on the edge.

Cabaret features the amazing Paul Capsis as Emcee; Kate Fitzpatrick (Fräulein Schneider) Debora Krizak (Fräulein Kost) John O’May (Herr Schultz), Jason Kos (Clifford Bradshaw), along with Australian actress, singer and leading lady of musical theatre Chelsea Gibb (Sally Bowles).

To celebrate the Melbourne season of Cabaret, we’re giving away TWO double passes to see the show’s 7.30pm performance on Tuesday the 2nd of May, at the Athenaeum Theatre, Melbourne (188 Collins St). Each double pass is valued at $160 and will need to be collected by the lucky winners at the Box Office on the day of the performance.

Review: The Play That Goes Wrong

Playing at the Comedy Theatre, Melbourne until March 26

The Play That Goes Wrong is genius. Pure and simple. Laugh out loud hilarious from start to finish, this increasingly frenetic British farce starts on a brilliant note and achieves the incredible feat of getting even more riotous as the play goes on (and goes very, very wrong).
