VELVET Returns to Adelaide For One Show Only

The award-winning hit show VELVET returns to Adelaide for one performance only on Saturday 25 February 2017 at the Thebarton Theatre.

Nominated for an ARIA Award and winner of four Adelaide Fringe Awards, including "Pick of the Fringe" and "Best of Fringe", this special one-off performance has been added to VELVET's Australian and New Zealand 2017 tour by popular demand.

A sell-out success over the past two years at the 2015 and 2016 Adelaide Fringe Festivals, as well as Edinburgh Fringe, Brisbane Festival, Sydney Opera House and CUB Malthouse Theatre in Melbourne, VELVET is back to dazzle audiences in Adelaide and across the country. Tickets for the one-off performance of VELVET go on sale from Thursday 1 December at 9:00AM from ticketmaster.com

Director Craig Ilott has created a hedonistic world, pitting dazzling acrobatics against disco divas as this sexy, spectacular, sparkling and slightly sadomasochistic show channels the original Studio 54 nightclub. The international ensemble of circus, cabaret and music talent return in 2017: dreamy muscle man Stephen Williams, hula boy extraordinaire Craig Reid, acrobatic wunderkind Mirko Köckenberger, sizzling aerialist Emma Goh and musical director and mix master Joe Accaria, alongside the legendary diva Marcia Hines, who is currently a host on Foxtel Smooth. Two new cast members will join Velvet for the 2017 tour: actor/singer Tom Oliver will play the young ingénue who slips behind the red velvet rope at the glamorous nightclub that is VELVET; while Kaylah Attard joins returning cast member Rechelle Mansour as the two sassy sirens.
