Brisbane’s Vaudeville Revival Those in the know will be flocking to Brisbane’s Old Museum on Friday the 13th of November to witness the revival of the River City’s vaudeville heyday. See Queensland’s finest burlesque, circus, tango and song talent perform at one of our most beloved heritage-listed buildings. In the early 1900s, Brisbane was a centre for song, dance, comedy, theatre and especially, the variety genre that included all of these: vaudeville. New local entertainment company Whistle Productions is bringing the city’s old sequinned and laced-up spirit to life, through a series of shows that transport the viewer back to the age of showmanship, glamour and tease. Best of all, the showcase is exclusively Brisbane talent – Whistle is bent on showing the city what culture and charm we already possess without importing from other cities. On Friday the 13th, the heritage-listed Old Museum will host the first of these showcases. “An Evening With…” begins at 7pm with drinks, music and casual entertainment. Doors open at 8pm, as the audience take their seats in the lavish Concert Hall. Then Brisbane’s finest will keep them spellbound - iconic burlesque performer Lola the Vamp, rising stars The Judy Dolls, boylesque sensation Mark Winmill, virtuosos The Empire Salon and Dance Orchestra, singer Matthew McDowell, underground burlesque prodigy Rose, and more, all join in for An Evening of tease, circus, dance, wit, and music. “An Evening With…” starts at 7pm at the Old Museum, Brisbane on Friday the 13th of November. Tickets $32 from www.moshtix.com or $45 at the door.
