This night is one of the most fun-filled nights on the Mardi Gras calender - I'm serious!
Those who love musical theatre will already know about this show - those that don't, ought to know about it! It stars the cream of Australia's musical theatre legends and is produced by Oz Showbiz Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, with all proceeds going to ACON.
Trevor Ashley and Laurence Stark, winners of the "DIVA Variety Award" 2006, are putting together a bigger and better show than last year - and I'm lucky to be part of it!
Hats off pays tribute to Kander & Ebb, and will feature songs from Cabaret, Chicago, Kiss of the Spider Woman and many more. Trevor promised me that the Showroom will be turned into the Kit Kat Club for the night.
This year I'm performing alongside Joel, one of the young boys playing the role of Mitzi's son in Priscilla, and we're opening Act 2. With some drag queens on his side, this talented young performer (who you might end up seeing in "Billy Elliot" when it premieres in Sydney later this year), will be singing "Don't Tell Mama" from Cabaret. "....
"Mama, doesn't even have an inkling, that I'm working in a drag show, in a pair of sequin pants.."
Camp! (although "Mama" has been at all rehearsals and knows all about his drag show shenanigans! She is such a sweet Mum, - not a stage-mum at all!)
Also performing is Caroline O'Connor (among some other huge names - I've been asked not to say much on here..), who is a huge supporter of this event, and always happy to raise funds for a good cause.
Come along to the Showroom tomorrow night (11 Feb - 8pm) for a memorable night's entertainment. You won't be disappointed.
