It’s nice, it’s different, it’s unusual in the best possible way! The cast of AK Creative’s Fountain Lakes: A Very Foxy Parody Musical have hit the jackpot! If ‘Kath and Kim’ had a musical episode, I imagine it’d be exactly this! The script is written just like an actual episode that mimics the constant original conflicts from the series - such as Kim’s debate whether or not to divorce Brett and Kel’s special anniversary sausage, all blended together in a hilarious hour of musical theatre genius.
This production seems to have found Adelaide’s best ‘Kath and Kim’ doppelgängers to play the original cast. They absolutely nail the mannerisms and iconic Australian accent of every single character. They hit the punchlines and have no shame in being absolutely ridiculous - just as a satirical Fringe show should be! Friday night’s audience was lapping it up!
Even if you missed the boat on Kath & Kim, this show sums up the series so perfectly you will leave having received an important lesson in Australian TV culture!
