EVERYBODY LOVES LUCY [LIVE comedy] 15 JULY SAT 8pm

A pitch-perfect performance - Daily Telegraph

Lucille Ball was the Queen of American comedy for decades. After years paying her dues in B-movies, she won the public’s hearts and reigned supreme as television’s biggest star in I Love Lucy - the most popular sitcom in American history.

Wacky, fearless, and totally endearing, Lucy broke the mold for the way women were allowed to behave on TV.

  EVERYBODY LOVES LUCY [LIVE comedy]  

8pm SAT  15 JULY 2017

 Featuring the hit songs Be a Clown, You’re So Right For Me, Make Someone Happy, We’re Having a Baby, You Don’t Have To Know The Language, Give It All You Got and Lose That Long Face.

Lucy conquered the entertainment industry, and was joined every step of the way by her real-life and on-screen husband Desi Arnaz. Together they defied conventions and expectations, and ensured total control by creating their own studio.

As the first couple of television comedy, Lucy and Desi held up a fun-house mirror to every marriage in America exaggerating and making amusing every idiosyncrasy of married life. But as Lucy’s popularity and relationship with the public thrived, her relationship with Desi suffered both professionally and privately.

Generations of fans know and love Lucy Ricardo for being impulsive, foolhardy and child-like – but the producer of I Love Lucy once said “Lucille Ball is about as different from Lucy Ricardo as anyone could possibly be.” She was a dedicated professional whose seemingly effortless comedy was a result of rigorous attention to detail and fanatical rehearsing.

Her own marriage may have fallen by the wayside, but in doing so, she was credited with saving the marriages of millions of Americans.

Brimming with Lucille Ball’s irrepressible spirit, acclaimed Australian theatre star Jade Westaby presents a tribute to a true trail-blazer.

Featuring the hit songs Be a Clown, You’re So Right For Me, Make Someone Happy, We’re Having a Baby, You Don’t Have To Know The Language, Give It All You Got and Lose That Long Face. - See more at: http://www.limelightmagazine.com.au/Event/388624,everybody-loves-lucy.aspx#sthash.iuSc309A.dpuf

Simon Gillespie sings PETER ALLEN [LIVE music]

Simon Gillespie grew up just about as far away from Peter Allen as it’s possible to get and yet has an uncanny affinity for the music of this extraordinary singer/songwriter.
11 Feb SAT 2pm 

Simon Gillespie sings 

PETER ALLEN [LIVE music] 

tickets $15 | $12 group 10+

Including Olivia Newton John’s landmark recording of ‘I Honestly Love You’ and Peter’s own soulful and heart-wrenchingly honest delivery of ‘Tenterfield Saddler’ these songs are lovingly recreated in this outstanding new show – ‘SIMON GILLESPIE sings PETER ALLEN’.

From working as Judy Garland’s opening act [Quiet Please – There’s a Lady Onstage] to international stardom as an openly flamboyant and controversial artist [Bi-Coastal] these songs take us on a journey through life, love and finally having to say goodbye [Once Before I Go].

For almost 15 years audiences across the globe have been clamouring for Simon to deliver a purely ‘Peter Allen’ set as only he can. Well here it finally is, working to standing ovations and encores everywhere!

Peter Allen’s songs are his legacy and with Simon's skillfully sensitive interpretations they serve so well to tell the story of his life and his loves in this new very personal, very intimate cabaret.
