Brett Haylock brings Cheeky Cabaret to Auckland, born from a 30-year-empty cinema
from RNZ - All Programmes
Brett Haylock co-created La Clique, the cabaret show that sold out within three days of opening in Edinburgh more than twenty years ago and went on to win Olivier Awards and play the West End, Broadway and Paris. While touring, he stumbled across an abandoned picture house in Brunswick Heads, on the New South Wales coast, that had sat empty for 30 years. He bought it on instinct, and it's now home to Cheeky Cabaret, a circus and burlesque show so popular it sometimes sells more tickets than the town's entire population. He brings a "best of" lineup to the Auckland Live Cabaret Festival, the show's first stop outside Australia.
