What's On

Cabaret, Cocktails and Karaoke

Seymour presents a bold new monthly event, Cabaret, Cocktails and Karaoke, which makes its debut on Friday 29 May. Guests are invited into an intimate, high-energy experience where cabaret glamour meets audience participation, as the spotlight shifts from stage to crowd and anyone can take centre stage!

Conceived by Seymour’s Artistic Director Joanne Kee, the first half of the evening features a live cabaret showcase led by acclaimed performer Kimie Tsukakoshi (TV’s The Bureau of Magical Things and The Family Law), joined by a different lineup of exceptional Asian Australian guest artists each month. From comedians and musicians to the occasional wildcard, no two nights are the same!

May’s opening night will feature writer and comedian Jennifer Wong (ABC’s Chopsticks or Fork?), musical theatre performer Paul Leandre Escorrido (Hayes Theatre Company’s Once on the Island), and composer, vocalist and multi‑instrumentalist Jolin Jiang.

As the evening progresses, the format shifts. The stage opens, the lights soften, and karaoke takes centre stage. Guests are invited to take the mic and choose their anthem. Whether audiences take the stage or sit back and take it all in, this isn't a polished performance, it's a vibe, and you never know who might be in the crowd...

Directed by Monica Sayers, Cabaret, Cocktails and Karaoke offers more than a traditional night out. It’s an ever-evolving event where anything can happen.

Come for the show. Stay to let loose and have the best night out. Pick a song. Take the stage. And enjoy!

Dancing at Lughnasa | New Theatre
A gifted embroider of words, Friel combines soft lyricism and hard meaning in his play, a tragical comical historical pastoral on a spree and spoiling for a spirited spar.
The First Murder | Pinchgut Opera
In the care of Pinchgut Opera’s director, Erin Helyard, this music, formulaic as it indeed is in some respects, sprang off the page into an experience rich in emotions.
Izzard: The Tragedy of Hamlet
To Shakespeare’s text be true is the obvious goal here, and writer, director and actor have each scored.
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels | Redfern Lane Productions
Unabashedly and unapologetically entertaining, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels delights in its hoax hokum, a whimsical hustle of musical comedy bustle.
Continuity | New Theatre
On the set of a big-budget Hollywood eco-thriller, the clock is ticking for an on time and under budget wrap.

Hamlet | Sh!tfaced Shakespeare
This is not your dear old Grandmother’s Hamlet, it is your drunk Uncle’s, who remembers every Monty Python episode by heart.

Retrograde | Melbourne Theatre Company
The script is based on a true story, although this dramatisation can feel somewhat contrived, with important assertions not interrogated, and credibility stretched as a result.
The Glass Menagerie | Melbourne Theatre Company
This Glass Menagerie is top shelf, and while blessed with an extraordinary cast and the highest of production values, it will not meet with everyone’s measure of how this play should be staged.
