Calling all cabaret and musical theatre lovers – the Brunswick Picture House couldn’t be more excited to be hosting a night of Impossible Dreams!
Blake Bowden and Phil Scott are back together with a cabaret of musical roles they would never be asked to play. Phil is currently between Priscilla The Party and the Wharf Revue, while Blake – one of our very own residents, here in the Northern Rivers – is between The Rocky Horror Show and Carousel. For contrast, they may give us some of that material too.
Blake is one of our top musical theatre performers and Phil a well-known comic and musical director. Together they define the word ‘rapport’, and the phrase, ‘between jobs’.
Celebrating his 40th year as a cabaret performer, Phil Scott is best known for Sydney’s annual Wharf Revue which has delighted audiences for 25 consecutive years. He has made his mark not only on the cabaret stage but also as a writer for the acclaimed Priscilla, The Musical and several ABC TV series. Phil’s versatility and charm have earned him a revered place in Australian entertainment.
Most recently seen in Melbourne and Sydney as Brad and the Frank n’ Furter alternate in the 50th anniversary production of The Rocky Horror Show, Blake Bowden also starred in some of the biggest musical productions in Australia, including The Phantom of the Opera, Sweeney Todd, Fiddler on the Roof and he has received a Helpmann Award nomination for his role in The Book of Mormon.
This will be an extraordinary evening in an all-new cabaret show that promises to be a night of musical brilliance, witty storytelling, and captivating vocal performances.
Impossible Dreams is on at the Brunswick Picture House, Friday, September 13, at 7pm. Tickets: brunswickpicturehouse.com.
