Direct from the sell-out success of his critically acclaimed smash hit show, The Fabulous Frances Faye in Australia, cabaret wild child Nick Christo drags his brand new MOTHER-OF-A-SHOW kicking and screaming into town, with rare cuts of juicy jazz standards and sticks of bubblegum pop, all sliced and diced to perfection by his razor sharp wit. Join him for a bawdy night of toe-tapping numbers like That’s Life, Cry Me a River and more.

What: TWO WEEKS IN PARIS

Experience la vie en rose with her silky smooth renditions of Edith Piaf, Josephine Baker, Jacques Brel, Charles Aznavour, Maurice Chevalier andmore. Oh la la.
