Le Gateau Chocolat - Icons

Le Gateau Chocolat - Icons
Fringeworld (WA). De Parel Spiegeltent. 22-31 Jan 2015

Le Gateau Chocolat is a favourite of WA's Fringeworld, and this year's offering, Icons, is a beautifully presented cabaret that is already creating a flutter on social media.

Le Gateau Chocolat is perfectly named. As a performer this beautiful, brown, bald, bearded drag queen looks delicious and is generously proportioned as any good chocolate cake should be. Le Gateau's bass-baritone operatic voice is the epitome of rich warm chocolate in vocal form, and one feels just a little indulgent just enjoying the tones.

Le Gateau Chocolat - Icons is deeper than one would expect from a drag show, moving and clever, thoughtful and funny, with a great variety of song choice, and Le Gataeu's rendition of ‘For Good’ is an emotional and artistic highlight.

Le Gateau Chocolat is a wonderful after dinner treat and well worth adding to everybody's Fringe Program.
