A once glamorous but now fading Parisian neighbourhood is transformed into a joyous carousel of music, muscles, abandon and redemption in this fusion of burlesque, circus and discotheque with a soundtrack of 70s classics.
The international cast of performers is led by the iconic Marcia Hines, with cabaret legend iOTA, Bangarra Dance Theatre’s Waangenga Blanco, British burlesque star Kitty Bang Bang and more. Pigalle is a glittering, raucous night on the town. Follow the noise!
Disco Circus Fusion, especially the Spiegeltent variety, has become a staple at festivals around Australia. Director Craig Ilott has mastered the genre.
A burlesque/cabaret tour-de-force ... Every now and then, a show comes along that blows all your preconceptions out of the water. ‘Pigalle’ is one of those shows. Every minute is entertaining, the cast is superb, and it ranges from heartfelt to hilarious — the perfect combination for the Spiegeltent.
One beautiful and dexterous artist after another picks up the pace ... Finally Marcia got the crowd on its feet ... It was a cool and sexy night out.
This high energy show is 70 minutes full of music, dancing, muscles and fun … I did not want the party to end.
