Parisian cabaret stars on stage at QPAC
The burlesque extravaganza Cabaret de Paris, a high-kicking, sequined and feathered show opens next month: for two shows in the QPAC Playhouse on Saturday February 27.
Cabaret de Paris is a stage spectacular celebrating old-fashioned showgirl glamour combined with the skill of adagio dancers, aerial pole artistry, comedy circus performers, quick change acts, illusionists and of course, the famous French Cancan dancers!
This lavish French cabaret show features an array of international guest artists in spectacular costumes, a nod to the elegance and glamour of Paris.
Starring is the legendary showgirl, Marissa Burgess, the longest-serving performer in the Moulin Rouge's 120-year history. Australian-born and trained Marissa has a string of accolades to her name and became the toast of Paris and the subject of many French TV talk shows and a US documentary.
Joining Marissa on stage include the top showgirls from around the world; 14 dancers who have performed on the stages of France’s most famous cabaret revues. The show features over quarter of a million dollars’ worth of lavish costumes in in traditional Moulin Rouge Parisian style, with feathers, sequins, rhinestones and jewels.
Cabaret de Paris is choreographed by Todd Patrick, one of Australia’s dance leaders who began his career with Disney, before working for Versace, Dior, Issey Miyaki, Gucci and Chanel, across Europe and Asia. As a dancer he worked internationally, one of the highlights being the principal in The Lido in Paris.
Additionally, illusionist and Australia’s Got Talent finalist Michael Boyd will perform some of his greatest illusions, disappearances and magic including a levitation illusion performed with Marissa whilst she is singing!
Note this is a topless burlesque revue; some aspects of the show may offend so viewer discretion is advised.
