Curtains Up Cabaret

Curtains Up Cabaret comes to the Rising Sun Arts Centre on Saturday 14 November, a night of cabaret acts inspired by musical theatre. It's a cabaret tribute to the stage, with burlesque, drag, comedy and song all drawn from the musical theatre songbook. The set pulls from shows like The Phantom of the Opera, Wicked, My Fair Lady, The Little Mermaid and Six, so it's a broad sweep of the West End and Broadway rather than a single show. The acts are hosted by Mojo Jones, with King Crimson, vocalist Kate Aherne, Tootsie Rocques, Darling Ms Lili and Layla Cherry on the bill.

The venue is the Rising Sun Arts Centre at 30 Silver St in Katesgrove, a community arts space that holds 150 and works across theatre, music and comedy. It's currently celebrating its 150th anniversary, and the cabaret fits into the kind of diverse programming it's known for. The night runs from 19:00 to 23:00, so it's a full evening rather than a short set.

General admission is £15 plus a £0.38 ticket service fee. Front row VIP tickets were £20 plus a £0.50 fee, but those are already sold out. You can book through thescarletvixens.com.
