OPEN MIC IDLE
Cabaret crooners and show tunes specialists are coming out of the woodwork for Open Mic Idle, a new music night at the Seymour Centre. Every Tuesday up-and-coming musical theatre talents compete for the chance to go into the grand final taking place on 12 December. Along with eight contestants every week, there is also a special guest act to show just how it is done, and Aunt Mavis, the drag alter ego of singer Andrew Benson, will be taking to the stage next week. Over $6,000 worth of prizes are to be won, so it’s worth any singer dusting off their old Sondheim and Kander & Ebb numbers and giving it a go. Bookings on 9351 7940.
PARADISE CITY
Bikes and skateboards present a collision of cultural styles with singers and dancers in the new show, Paradise City, at The Studio of the Sydney Opera House from 30 November. Starring Australian BMX champion Simon O’Brien and world-class skateboarder Michael Mulhall, together with vocalist Inga Liljestr?physical theatre performer Alexandra Harrison and dancer Kathryn Puie, the show blends together movement, dance and songs in a unique street-jam-meets-theatre experience. Bookings on 9250 7777 or www.sydneyoperahouse.com.
