The Gangster’s Ball 2013
Born in the wrong era? Get a slice of vintage nightlife at the Forum this Saturday. There will be cabaret, vaudeville, gambling, and flappers extraordinaire. Time to forget your woes and become Gatsby for the night.
Overview
If you’ve ever daydreamed about the days when gents wore three-piece suits and ladies dolled up in flapper finery, the upcoming Gangster’s Ball may be for you.
Hosted by the Forum, the ball offers a chance to get gussied up in your vintage best for what sounds like a memorable night out. Embracing the entertainment of the 1920s-'50s, the evening includes live magic, vaudeville, cabaret and a turn from NSW’s reigning burlesque queen, Kelly Ann Doll.
Should you need a break from being a spectator, you can get all gangster and try your luck in the gambling den (pinstripes and spats compulsory) or pamper your inner-moll at the vintage styling parlour. Cocktails and a spot of drunken swing dancing are optional.
