Background
The Southern Belles was a sell-out at the Adelaide Cabaret Festival in
June.
Co-Artistic Director of the Festival, Ali McGregor, had appeared in an
earlier version of the show programmed for Morning Melodies at the Victorian
Arts Centre in 2011.
She thought the show could be re-worked as a cabaret production with
the addition of a narrative, and it was performed there to great acclaim by
Jane Clifton, Nichaud Fitzgibbon and Carla Lippis.
Clare Moore (drums) and Rosie Westbrook (bass) shared Musical Direction
of the show for the Adelaide season as they do for the MEMO Music Hall
performance – appearing with a seven-piece band including a high-powered
brass section.
Nichaud Fitzgibbon and Jane Clifton, who were both in the original
Victorian Arts Centre season, are joined by Rebecca Barnard for the MEMO Music
Hall performance on 30 October.
