La Soiree

A night of squealing 'oh my goodness, how do they even'.

Overview

Missed La Soiree last time it played in Brisbane? Heard everyone you know — and everyone they know — talk about it? You'd best redress that gap in your theatre-going this time, or prepare for another year or so of being told how great it is.

For ten years, La Soiree has travelled the world showcasing their blend of cabaret, new burlesque, circus sideshow and contemporary vaudeville. So far, so standard; however, their efforts really do defy definition, let alone expectation. You've never been to a show quite like it, to put it plainly. Take everything you think you know about acrobats, contortionists and chanteuses, and throw it out the window.

Developed by the performers behind La Clique and featuring an ever-changing lineup of performers, La Soiree is spicier, stranger and funnier — and with more glamour and fewer inhibitions — than an average night's entertainment, or an unusual evening's show, come to think of it. You'll not only find out why it has won awards and hearts in tandem, but you'll also get up close and personal to the action. Here, every audience member sits on stage within touching distance of the performers. Yes really.
