Charlie Lane Brings THE GIRL WHO NEVER GREW UP to Melbourne Cabaret Festival Tonight

By:

Charlie Lane, a twenty-two year old antagonistic, opinionated girl, struggles with adult life and the pressure to be less care free and more 'responsible'.

Her introductory song, I Just Want To Have Fun, tells the story of Charlie, a young adolescent, who has 'realistic' dreams of having no job and becoming friends with Ellen Degeneres.

Mannequin is the next running theme in which Charlie can't seem to find any point in growing up as all she sees are pieces of plastic walking past. In the following piece,Robot, Charlie and her doctor have an argument about medication and the need for it.

Charlie eventually ends with the rebellious The Girl That Never Grew Up. Charlie Lane's quirky & mischievous adventures through to adulthood are not to be missed.

Featuring Charlie Lane (vocals), Lewis Reidy-Crofts (bass), Kate Lewis (piano & keyboards), Nick Soldatos (guitar) and Michael Jules (drums).

Lane will play The Butterfly Club as part of the Melbourne Cabaret Festival tonight Sun 30 June and Sun 7 July at 9:30pm. Duration: 60 minutes. Ticket prices: $23 full, $20 concession, $18 groups of 8+; $18 Cabaret Festival Members (Plus transaction charges). Book HERE.
