Six early release shows have been announced for the 2019 Adelaide Cabaret Festival, which takes place from 7-22 June 2019.
They include cabaret legend Ute Lemper in Rendezvous with Marlene for one night only at Thebarton Theatre; UK company Flabbergast Theatre’s immersive show The Swell Mob, which uses a mix of clowning, puppetry and cabaret to recreate an historical epoch filled with thieves, fogle-hunters, dandies and deception.; Paul Capsis with Jethro Woodward and the Fitzroy Youth Orchestra at The Famous Spiegeltent; and the story of Hollywood’s first Chinese movie star and international style icon, Anna May Wong, in Dragon Lady: The many lives and deaths of Anna May Wong, an exploration of cultural identity and ambition through sparkling musical numbers performed by Fiona Choi (The Family Law).
