Reuben Kaye, the new Artistic Director of the Adelaide Cabaret Festival, has chosen the theme of Delicious Revolution for his inaugural program. (Read our interview with him on page 65.) Speaking to Limelight, he says, “From Aussie icons and international acts of immense fame to basement-dwelling unknowns . . . this is a festival of risks, leaps of faith, huge laughs and bigger heart.” Kaye will host the opening Variety Gala, front a series of free talks and unleash a solo show. He will also join the cast of the recent Australian tour of Jesus Christ Superstar for a night of song and backstage gossip in What’s The Buzz?. Other artists in the festival include Mahalia Barnes, Alfie Boe, Casey Donovan, Vince Jones, Jay Laga’aia, Lime Cordiale with the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra, Em Rusciano and Ursula Yovich, to name just a few.

Limelight Editor’s Choice

A Night of Burlesque makes its opulent appearance, inviting audiences into a world dripping with glamour and decadence.

Surrender to an experience where every gesture is deliberate, every costume a work of art, and desire unfolds at its own intoxicating pace.

Gracing the stage are show stopping, award winning performers from across the country, each bringing their own signature style, star power, and undeniable magnetism to the table. From icons of classic tease to boundary pushing modern sirens, this is a handpicked assembly of burlesque excellence.

Dress up, lean in and surrender… this is burlesque at its most luxurious.
