The show no Britney fan should miss

By Will Stroude

Promotional

The show no Britney fan should miss Britney may be holed up in Vegas, but there is still a chance to catch the queen of pop in London this Summer. Well, sort of…

After sell-out seasons in Australia, Britney Spears: The Cabaret arrives in London for one week only, playing at The Other Palace from Tuesday 5 to Saturday 9 September.

Not so much a cabaret as a cry for help, Britney Spears: The Cabaret charts the rise and fall of the true Princess of Pop, and takes a satirical look at the perils of fame. Transforming her greatest hits into cabaret standards, and weaving them into the fabric of her life story, it is at turns site-splittingly funny and strangely touching.

Star of Australian stage and screen Christie Whelan Browne will reprise her critically acclaimed performance as Britney, having wowing audiences Down Under. Her stage work in Australia includes Company, The Producers, Xanadu, The Drowsy Chaperone and playing opposite Geoffrey Rush in A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum.

 

Later this year Christie will star in the world premiere stage adaptation of Muriel’s Wedding: The Musical for Sydney Theatre Company. Britney Spears: The Cabaret is written and directed by Dean Bryant, whose work includes the hilarious comic tribute to our other favourite diva; Liza (on an E), which played in the West End in 2013.

“Whelan Browne is remarkable” – Sydney Morning Herald

“Whelan Browne delivers with laser precision, switching in a nano-second from dumb broad to sweet innocent. Brilliant!” – The Australian

“Side-Splittingly Funny… Absolutely Unmissable” – The Daily Review

Recommended for ages 15+.
