Steam rising at the Tanks
A SULTRY burlesque extravaganza will have the temperature rising at the Tanks Arts Centre when The Kitty Kats bring their ‘Night of Burlesque’ to Cairns for a night of cabaret and jazzy tunes this November.
Vocal powerhouses The Kitty Kats – Renae Suttie, Michelle Brown and Susanne Campbell – are coming to Cairns with their latest show ‘A Night of Burlesque’, a feast for the senses with lots of cabaret songs with a vintage twist, burlesque performances and lots of female energy on November 16 at the Tanks.
“Our vision and mantra as The Kitty Kats is ‘Love the skin you’re in’, no matter what size you are and this is what we want to put through to the audience. Love the skin you’re in no matter what,” said one third of the Kitty Kats, Ms Suttie.
“We wanted to celebrate the female form, no matter what size or shape and that’s a big part of our message,” she said.
“The show is divided in three sets. In the first one we’ll be performing the more traditional and burlesque style tunes and in the second set we go more contemporary and our final set is party time and we invite everyone to the dance floor to let their hair down.
“For this show we reached out to some fabulous burlesque performers, who we’ve been performing with ever since. One of them is Scarlet Tinkabelle, who’s our headline performer for our show at Tanks.”
Ms Suttie said ‘A Night of Burlesque’ would have an assortment of entertainment to suit all tastes and pleasures.
“This show is a feast for the eyes and the ears,” she said.
“If you like fire, feather, fishnets and felines, you’re going to love this show. There’ll be corsets and big feather boas, it’s all very dramatic and over the top.
“It’s pretty much a sensory overload because there’s live singing, a live band, all the dancing, all the costumes and Scarlet Tinkabelle will be performing with fire, so it’s all visually spectacular.”
The audience will be tapping their feet to some musical classics like ‘All That Jazz’, ‘Welcome to Burlesque’, ‘Diamonds are a girl’s best friend’, ‘Cabaret’ and more as they are enticed with sultry performances.
“The theme is burlesque boudoir so we want people to dress the part with their fishnets and the men with their top hats to be part of the show,” Ms Suttie said.
