‘Helping us live and work the Twelve Steps to better Cabaret’
Written and performed by
Queenie van de Zandt with Mark Jones on Piano
Queenie van de Zandt’s addiction to cabaret has taken her from performing, at the age of 17, in her first cabaret; “The Essential Lloyd Webber” (at a venue in the country town of Queanbeyan, on a stage covered with bright green carpet), to teaching cabaret at the Victorian College of the Arts.
In CABARET – THE 12 STEP PROGRAM, Queenie van de Zandt, (“…the spectacular musical theatre and cabaret performer…” Sunday Telegraph), reveals the secrets to creating a successful cabaret while she simultaneously performs a successful cabaret (and just a tip, one of the secrets is not designing a set which consists of pinning all your record covers of Andrew Lloyd Webber shows at interesting angles onto a curtain).
Yes – it’s a cabaret, within a cabaret, about a cabaret (and if you’re confused, just stop being so selfish and think about how she must feel).
If you’re addicted to cabaret and love a combination of listening to great singing, having lots of laughs and getting a certificate of attendance at the end of it – this show will definitely be your “Music of the Night”.
“…a new star of Australian comedy theatre… and…what a fabulous singer she is…” Sunday Telegraph
“…good to see van de Zandt back in town and in fine voice and humour.” The Canberra Times
“Queenie van de Zandt is not only a great cabaret singer, she is hilarious, too.” Herald Sun
