Amanda McBroom and Lorna Luft are just two of the headliners who will
be appearing at the 2008 ADELAIDE CABARET FESTIVAL (http://adelaidecabaretfestival.com/
), which runs from Friday, June 6th through Saturday June 14th at the
Adelaide Festival Centre in Adelaide, AUS.
As well as giving three performances at the festival,
Amanda McBroom will also present a masterclass, as will UK cabaret
performer Maria Friedman, who is giving her only Australian performance
at the festival. Among other International artists at this year's
Festival are Belle Du Berry from France, Elena Roger from Argentina
and the Balkan Gypsy group Paprika Balkanicus.
Australian musical theatre leading lady Rhonda Burchmore
will open the Festival fronting the 20-piece Adelaide Art Orchestra
in a lavish Las Vegas style revue, while Tom Burlinson, fresh from
his stint in the Australian production of "The Producers" will reprise
his Frank Sinatra tribute, "A Life in Song".
Demand for tickets has been so strong this year that
several additional performances have been added to the schedule including
an extra performance for Lorna Luft.
