CARLOTTA: The Party’s Over

 

 

Hayes Theatre

28 February – 3 March 2024

 

“The star of Les Girls and inspiration for Priscilla: Queen of the Desert is as much an Australian to be proud of as Don Bradman or Cate Blanchett…she is still a force of nature…rude, crude and fabulous.”

 Sydney Morning Herald

 

 

Australian icon, political activist and living legend, Carlotta AM has led an extraordinary life: good times, bum times, she’s seen them all and my dear, she’s still here. Following two sell-out seasons at Hayes Theatre Co, Carlotta returns to the Cross in her 80th year to bid a fabulous farewell in this very special Mardi Gras season.

 

Carlotta’s career began in the 60’s as an original member of the long-running Les Girls cabaret show – based in Kings Cross.  From then her career has included various roles on television, as a featured performer in a soap opera and a panellist on Beauty & the Beast, plus her own cabaret shows that have toured Australia and been acclaimed by the critics. The Les Girls show went on-the-road, touring Australia, which inspired the film "Priscilla Queen of the Desert".

 

Musical Director and producer and Helpmann Award winner, Michael Griffiths said “Carlotta is a wonderful raconteur and has never sung like this before.  Sydney audiences are in for a real treat.”

 

 “Watching Carlotta is attending an audience with a living legend”. Stage Whispers
