VELVET Extends Sydney Season for Two Additional Weeks

After nationwide rave reviews and audience acclaim, the ARIA nominated and award-winning hit show VELVET has announced, due to popular demand, two extra weeks to its Sydney season at Roslyn Packer Theatre Walsh Bay, and will now run until Sunday 20 August. Ahead of its opening this week, Sydney audiences will be able to purchase tickets for the additional performances from 25 July at roslynpackertheatre.com.au.

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 includes dreamy muscle man Stephen Williams, hula boy extraordinaire Craig Reid, acrobatic wunderkind Mirko Köckenberger, sizzling aerialist Emma Goh, actor/singer Tom Oliver who plays the young ingénue who slips behind the red velvet rope at the glamorous nightclub that is VELVET; Kaylah Attard and Rechelle Mansour as the two sassy sirens, and musical director and mix master Joe Accaria, alongside the legendary diva Marcia Hines.

VELVET shocks, surprises and scintillates at every turn. It's a party, it's electrifying, and its exhilarating disco soundtrack never lets up from the opening moment. Each performance invites the audience into an intoxicating glitterball world where the performers and the audience walk the fine line between the romantic and the audacious. VELVET is a fantastic sensory overload - funky, fresh, fun and sexy.
