Sequel cabaret show in which performers blend magic, burlesque, music and comedy to pay tribute to Hollywood legends through the audience's favourite movies.
D'Lecter Cabaret are back at Sub89 on Friday 26 March with Night at the Movies Pt. 2, a sequel to their original show. It's part of a series that pays tribute to Hollywood legends, and this one follows the same thread: the performers blend magic, burlesque, music and comedy to stage numbers inspired by the audience's favourite movies.
If you've seen the first one, you'll know how it works. The night pulls from a few different traditions — cabaret, variety, and a bit of a movie night — and puts them in the same room. The magic, the burlesque, the music and the comedy aren't separate acts; they're woven together into a single show. The whole thing is built around those Hollywood tributes, so the numbers take their cues from the films we all know, rather than standing on their own.
It's a long one, too. The show runs for around three hours, so you're in for a full evening rather than a quick turn. It's strictly for ages 18 and over, and the venue doesn't offer refunds, so it's worth keeping that in mind before you commit. If you're planning to go, it's the kind of night that works best when you've got the whole evening clear.
