It may have been cold outside but the temperature was soaring at the Festival Centre during another sensational Adelaide Cabaret Festival. With over 480 cabaret artists performing in the festival and 35 sold out shows. Total ticketed attendances were 45,000 on par with our highest ever ticketed attendances in 2013.
The biggest challenge in personalizing a tribute show is when the set list is structured to tell a story about the performer's life. Those songs better be good, that life better be interesting, and that storytelling patter better be clever, humorous, and self-deprecating or an audience (let alone a reviewer) will tune you out quicker than a liberal accidentally hitting FOX News on the remote. I recently saw two different shows at The Duplex from enchanting young women performers—Carly Ozard and Nikki MacCallum--who deftly managed to weave their love of a singer (Bette Midler for Ozard) or a songbook (Kander & Ebb for MacCallum) into a tale of life journey and personal growth to produce charming and entertaining shows.
