VELVET

Overview

Imagine a place where disco rules, glitter and sequins may as well be the new form of currency, and dancing the night away is the only thing on anyone's mind. No, this isn't a Studio 54 daydream (but if you're whiling away the hours thinking about Ryan Phillippe and Neve Campbell, we won't judge you). Instead, it's VELVET.

Attempting to bring the spirit of the famous New York nightclub to life, this cabaret performance combines disco, dance, burlesque and circus into one electrifying package. Think acrobatics, divas, singing chanteuses and muscly men. Think the kind of show that doesn't feel like you're nestled into QPAC's Cremorne Theatre circa 2016 — it feels like you're visiting the '70s in a time machine.

Of course, that's the whole point of the hedonistic experience, which was voted Pick of the Fringe and Best of the Fringe at the Adelaide Fringe Festival. With singer/songwriter Brendan Maclean as your guide and the legendary Marcia Hines among the cast, you'll be wrapped up in a boogie wonderland in no time.
