Meow Meow at the Soho Theatre March / April 2010

Caberet singing sensation, Meow Meow, is currently making her London debut with 'Beyond Glamour:The Absinthe Tour' at the Soho Theatre until April 10th 2010. Tickets are just £15. See a preview here or see Meow Meow's website at www.meowmeowrevolution.com

As we arrived and Robin dragged me into the front row at the Soho theatre, I was promptly informed by my beloved that this fine lady apparently crowd surfs, causing me to start looking for the exits. But I shouldn't have been worried, as no one, and darling I mean no one, is safe from the claws of the divine Meow Meow! I doubt there was an audience member left physically or verbally unpummelled by the end of this show. Combining the faded glamour and demanding demeanour of a diva in descent, Meow Meow is infectiously entertaining. Her reportoire is mainly sad songs, delievered in a variety of European languages, adding just a touch of the soviet kitsch to them. But this is not a downbeat evening - as everytime you a drawn into a deep swoon, Meow Meow is only too ready to whisk you out of the beauty of her voice with a moment of high camp humour (my favourite being when an alarm sounded and she stopped midway to take her 'pills' only to continue again as if she hadn't missed a beat). I was only too happy to have sat front centre at this show by the end and wish I could spend many an evening right there, as Meow Meow has captured my heart. She gets 5 little kitty paws out of 5 from this smitten kitten.		Ok, I admit it, I'm a total show pony. Ever since we spent all those family holidays at hotels with 'live entertainment' I've loved making an idiot of myself on stage, so from the first mention of audience interaction and I was hooked. However the Meow Meow show is everything I could have wanted and more, much much more. A high camp decadent diva who's not afraid to laugh at herself, a screaming, drink stealing queen who berates her audience and a beautiful soulful voice which takes you away. I couldn't recommend this enough. Meow Meow manages to combine the strong over the top personality of a starlet along with the delicate warmth of the singer she becomes. "careful, I'm real!" she squeals as she crowd surfs amongst the audience "hey you, hands away, did you get a good look?" as a red faced man attempts to pass her to the next row back. Wonderfully exciting, beautifully poignant and screamingly funny, I'd give Meow Meow 5 encores out of 5!

The Irrepressibles ‘St Valentine's Day Massacre’ featuring Bourgeois & Maurice and Jonny Woo

On V-Day, we were lucky enough to score tickets to the sold-out St Valentine's Day Massacre at the Queen Elizabeth Hall. Billing the evening of live performance was the conceptually staged, alurring chamber orchestra ensemble The Irrepressibles (pictured), led by composer Jamie McDermott. In support was an amazing line-up of queer caberet starlets Bourgeois & Maurice and Jonny Woo.

To be very fair, the reason I was gagging to go to this is because I L.O.V.E. Jonny Woo and have been dying to see Bourgeois & Maurice for the longest time. And I wasn't dissapointed. Woo was stunning as ever, strutting before a mesmerised crowd, woo'ing them to drop their PC South Bank Centre snobbery and yell 'faggot' at him at the top of their lungs, as he flicked his waist length wig at them. Bourgeois & Maurice were seriously divine, frolicking in a bizzare and beautiful array of costumes and unrelenting set of adoring tunes.		After a lazy valentines day of opening naughty presents, and not making it far out of the bedroom, it was quite refreshing to doll ourselves up and head out for some fresh air and culture at the South Bank. Fanny had been bigging up both Jonny Woo and Borgeois & Maurice for weeks, so it was finally my chance to see what all the fuss was about. In one word, AMAZING. The only problem with the evening in my mind was that B&M should have been given top billing. The Irrepressibles were atmospheric, beautiful, haunting, and a host of other great adjectives, but Jonny and B&M's wit and lack of any pretension just blew the main act out of the water.
