Hayes Theatre Co. Cabaret Season
For six weeks this winter, from June 2 to July 13, 2014, Sydney’s Hayes Theatre Co is turning into an exclusively cabaret venue.
Experienced cabaret artists including Mark Nadler, David Campbell and John Bucchino, Rhonda Burchmore and Donna Lee will share the Hayes with up-and-coming stars like Tom Sharah, Gillian Cosgriff, Brendan Hay, Matt Gilbertson, and Hilary Cole; and even a show where the two worlds meet – Phil Scott’s collaboration with Blake Bowden, Mario.
Michael Griffiths brings his award-winning interpretation of the songs of Annie Lennox, while Elise McCann examines the irresistible appeal of Lucille Ball to 1950s America. Johanna Allen breathes electrifying new life into the songbook of Harold Arlen, and Toby Francis lifts the curtain on a very different songwriter, rock legend Jim Steinman.
Hayes Theatre Co’s cabaret season includes the world premiere of five new cabaret shows, and the Sydney premiere of six more.
As part of Hayes Theatre Co’s commitment to bringing young performers into the cabaret scene, the theatre is also collaborating with Queenie van de Zandt on a two-week Cabaret Winter Workshop during the season. Registrations for the workshop will open during April.
“From veterans to newcomers, popera to pop music, Hayes Theatre Co’s cabaret season offers a diverse and invigorating range of experiences”, said Richard Carroll - Hayes Theatre Co board member and producer at Luckiest Productions.
