Madames and Monsieurs, welcome to the Summer of Champagne at the Grand Electric with the delightfully delicious & decadent Blanc de Blanc.
10 years on since their world premiere at the Sydney Opera House Studio, and for their fourth Sydney iteration, the Strut & Fret team have assembled a world class set of singers, dancers and artists.
Led by the velvety voice of vixen Melanie Hawkins (a Strut & Fret veteran), and for the first time in my Blanc de Blanc experiences this Sydney season is hosted by a male & female, with Alexander Makardish and Tara Boom guiding us through the evening.
They are joined by Abi Wells, Corentin Lemaitre, Marie Lebot and Mykhailo Makarov for the Blanc de Blanc favourites such as song mash-ups, grape throwing, pillow fights, aerial champagne flights (and bubbles!), towel strip teases and a number that involves a microphone, french flag and a unique body part instrument (IYKYK).
New for this production is feet umbrella balancing (yes, you read that correctly) from Tara, a stunning duo straps aerial trapeze act with Corentin and Marie, and the most confounding bone breaking performance by Mykhailo.
Did I also mention there is now a hot-tub in the middle of the audience?
Also playing a starring role is the audience itself, with the show happening all around you and you may find yourself participating in the show! Blanc remains an intimate show, and audience participation is highly encouraged and at times…mandatory!
Blanc de Blanc is an ideal summers night out, get to Grand Electric early for courtyard drinks before being swept away to the gorgeously glamorous and giddly glitzy playground of feathers, fabulousness and frivolity.
Strictly 18+ for very good reasons.
