This show is a part of a Premium Package on Sun 8 June.   

The inspiration behind Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, Australian icon, political activist, and living legend, Carlotta has led an extraordinary life.

She hosted the legendary Les Girls in Kings Cross, was awarded a Member of the Order of Australia, and helped us launch the first ever Adelaide Cabaret Festival in 2001. Still as fabulous as ever in her 81st year, Carlotta returns with a very special evening singing Peter Allen, Kander and Ebb, Stephen Sondheim and Barry Manilow. Good times, bum times, Australia’s most beloved showgirl has seen them all and my dear, she’s still here.

Accompanied by a three-piece band, led by Helpmann Award winner Michael Griffiths.

Passion, flair, humour and energy…she could do no wrong.
