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.

Author Grahame Greene/Adapted by Clive Frances
Director Dave Simms

 PRESENTED BY STIRLING PLAYERS

 A hapless vacuum cleaner salesman gets sucked into a world of espionage in a murderously funny story told by 6 actors….and a vacuum cleaner!

 Jim Wormold, an under-employed vacuum cleaner salesman living in 1950s Cuba is struggling to pay for his teenage daughter’s extravagant lifestyle.  So, when the British Secret Service asks him to become their ‘man in Havana’ he can’t afford to say no.

There’s just one problem: he doesn’t know anything!

To avoid suspicion he beings to recruit non-existent sub-agents, concocting a series of intricate fictions.  But Wormold soon discovers that his stories are closer to the truth than he could have ever imagined.

In Clive Francis’ adaptation, Graham Greene’s classic, satirical novel, becomes a fast-moving romp, giving our cast a licence to over-act!
