The Met presents Cole Porter’s Musical: CAN-CAN

By on September 12, 2018 in

In 2018, The MET is thrilled to celebrate 60 Years of performing Musical Theatre in Adelaide. To celebrate our 60th Anniversary, we are very proud to present Cole Porter’s production of CAN-CAN.

CAN-CAN is set in the Montmartre district of Paris in 1893.

At the Bal Du Paradis Cafe, owned by La Mome Pistache, the naughty CAN-CAN dance is performed. After a police raid, the dancers are arrested and the ensuing court case results in Judge Aristide Forrestier personally investigating the charges of ‘lewd and lascivious dancing’. Although forewarned of complications by his friend, Judge Paul Barriere, Aristide falls in love with Pistache and is introduced to some diverse characters and situations.

Boris Adzinidzinadze, a Bulgarian sculptor, is courting Claudine the lead dancer at the Bal Du Paradis. Their friends Theophile, Etienne, Hercule and Celestine and the vivacious CAN-CAN dancers are all trying to impress the suave, influential Art Critic, Hilaire Jussac. The resulting situations are fun-filled and colourful, climaxing in an exhilarating performance of the CAN-CAN.

CAN-CAN features some of Cole Porter’s well-known songs: I Love Paris, C’est Magnifique, Never Never be an Artist and the exciting CAN-CAN dance.

The MET welcomes back Leonie Osborn as Director, Stephanie Neale in her debut as Musical Director for The MET and Carmel Vistoli as Choreographer.

“Adulting” Tash York is back

By on August 12, 2018 in

What happens at A club, stays at A club.

After an incredible Adelaide Fringe season with her hit show “Adulting” Tash York is back – and she’s back 6 months early! As a long time performer of the Adelaide Fringe, York is bringing her 5 star comedy cabaret to one of Adelaide’s most beloved venues, The A Club.

 Starting with it’s origins on twitter the term “Adulting” has become a huge online trend basically describing or congratulating oneself for doing “Grownup things”.  Things such as holding down a job, paying your bills on time, cooking dinner (that doesn’t just involve going to a Macca’s Drive-Thru) and even doing your taxes.

Tash York has paved a lot of her cabaret success from her previous award-winning show These Things Take Wine which showcased a lot of her own life experiences and this show promises much more of this signature style. ‘There seems to be a huge divide as to whether “Adulting” is a good or bad thing. As a person I often don’t make the most “Adult” life choices – well maybe that’s because I’ll never be able to afford my own house?” laughs York.

York is thrilled to be back in Adelaide again with her award-winning  solo show, after recieving huge success with it at Adelaide Fringe earlier this year. Known for her ballsy voice, dynamic energy York will be sure to  provide an evening of matchless comedy-cabaret in her new show ‘Adulting’. Pass up on some smashed avo and buy a ticket to see her in action!

 ‘York is a true talent audiences are lucky to experience‘ – Theatre People

‘Tash is captivating, extremely talented and will immerse you in her musical world’ – The Beat

‘Tash York, one of Melbourne’s great cabaret artists’ – We Know Melbourne
