Playhouse this weekend

FROM THE GUTTERS TO THE STARS

This Saturday at 6 pm The Playhouse Hotel will host From the Gutters to the Stars - a musical evening of cabaret songs by turns spicy, sensuous, heartbreaking and hilarious, performed by internationally acclaimed opera and cabaret mezzo-soprano Sally Wilson and award-winning pianist Mark Kruger. Be touched, tickled, and surprised as Sally and Mark take us on an unpredictable journey from the gutters of Berlin via the night world of Rotterdam to high society New York. The show features numbers by Kurt Weill, Friedrich Hollaender and William Bolcom, interspersed with sublime solo piano pieces by George Gershwin.

 After the show, patrons are invited to join the artists for a delicious dinner in the hotel’s dining room, where chef Shelley Austin will offer a choice of chicken, gruyere and paprika vol-au-vents or beef meatloaf, followed by rhubarb crumble or pineapple upside down cake. The hotel is fully licensed.

The hotel bar will be open from 5pm. Concert tickets are $35 pp, and dinner is $45. Special dietary needs can be catered for by pre-arrangement. Book now on 6782 1109.
