Bradley McCaw to Tour Australia and New York, Beg. June 8

Australia's newest cabaret sensation and winner of the 2012 Australian Cabaret Showcase, Bradley McCaw will tour Australia and New York from 8 June 2013 with his new show Cabaret: The Complete Authorised Biography.

In 1881, a group of young radical writers gathered in a salon in Paris. Here they spent the night sharing ideas, taking turns in-between drinks to serenade each other over wine and candlelight. It was here in the 'Black Cat' salon that Cabaret was born.

There's something for everyone in Cabaret: The Complete Authorised Biography, a show that couples old favorites with self-penned originals. Journey from the conception of the word itself, through to modern day Broadway stages and everything in between, as Australia's newest cabaret sensation pays homage to the evolution of an art-form that refuses to be forgotten!

Composer/playwright Bradley McCaw presents the world premiere of Cabaret: The Complete Authorised Biography at the Adelaide Cabaret Festival in June, before atour to the Noosa Longweekend Festival, the Melbourne Cabaret Festival, theBallarat and Brisbane Cabaret Festivals and to the New York Musical TheatreFestival.
