Cabaret - Mikelangelo and the Black Sea Gentlemen

Internationally acclaimed and immaculately dressed, Mikelangelo and the Black Sea Gentlemen return to Brisbane with their visceral and intoxicating Kabaret Noir.

In concert Mikelangelo commands the stage with his thunderous baritone. He is part-ringmaster, part-crooner, part-beast possessed. The Black Sea Gentlemen are his formidable musical ensemble featuring Rufino the Catalan Casanova on Violin, The Great Muldavio on Clarinet, Guido Libido on Piano Accordion and Little Ivan on Double bass. Together they waltz, tango and polka their way through a show bristling with black humour and pathos.

Expect danger, treachery and piratical adventures on the high seas; a bloody Western showdown in the Croatian Alps; insightful male grooming and deportment demonstrations; impeccable Eastern European accents; and a sneak preview of songs from their eagerly anticipated new album, which is due out in 2009.
