In comic opera, the soubrettes are the minor roles of chambermaids and servants, yet Tanya Kyriakou and Alice Carter show star quality as leading ladies in 'The Soubrettes'.
Fantastic Femmes by Linh
The sirens of satire and comedic chaos are back with a new set of songs and stories for this year's Cabaret Festival.
'The Soubrettes' are accompanied by the dashing William Poskitt on piano as they take the audience through an hour of lethal laughs and flirtatious fun.
Tanya Kyriakou plays the demure and dangerous brunette whose rendition of It's Not Easy Being Greek pokes fun at her ethnicity with a touch of poignancy.
Alice Carter shines as the bubbly blonde showing vocal diversity in You'll Do about being desperate to love any man who proposes.
The dynamic divas displayed glorious harmonising in the rebellious song I Wanna Be A Drug Addict and had the audience in fits of laughter with the anti-feminist anthem I Want A Man where Alice played keyboard with her stiletto heels.
Amidst a flurry of frock changes and wigs, the flirtatious pair warmed up the intimate Artspace venue with their bitchy banter, friendly audience participation and wickedly scathing commentaries on current issues and fashion trends.
Take care of your ticker while you watch 'The Soubrettes', as the lovely ladies may steal your heart with their comic charms and charisma.
