Trevor Ashley in Fat Swan
“Makes Centre Stage, Fame and Glee look like high art”
March 6, 2012 to March 11, 2012
Bookings are no longer available
Based on Swan Lake, the years’ biggest movie was dark, gripping and psychologically disturbing … but if you thought that was disturbing, just wait for Fat Swan. It’s everything the film was only with songs, audience participation and men dressed up as women.
The Helpmann non-nominated Trevor Ashley (Hairspray, Priscilla) plays Natalie Portly, a ballet dancer with body dysmorphia who dreams of being a star! Can she overcome the obstacles of a psychotic mother, the choreographer from hell, and a lesbian ballerina with a dark side and make it out the other end alive? Well, no actually.
Written by Phil Scott, Fat Swan is a laugh-a-minute musical romp with an all-star cast featuring Trevor Ashley (Hairspray, Priscilla), Tara Morice (Strictly Ballroom, Dance Academy), Lisa Adam (Jersey Boys, Rocky Horror) and Brendan Moar (Host of TV’s The Renovators), together with a fabulous live band.
Fat Swan takes you deep into the heart-rending, heel-chafing, toe-bleeding, self-harming world of ballet – and will surely make you wonder what your mother did with your old pointe shoes.
* Contains strong language and adult themes
Please note: ticket price includes complimentary drink on arrival on opening night.
