Love is a Game: An Adele Song Cycle
Hello, it’s me… and an ensemble of Adelaide artists ready to present a series of Adele songs to Someone Like You!
Conceptualised by Oliver John, this song cycle performance will share an array of short stories told through Adele's hit songs on stage, taking you on a journey of love and connection. Akin to a series of music videos; once one song ends, a new story will begin.
Led by vocal powerhouses Mackenzie Garcia, Sammi Keough and Oliver John, the cast portray a different world of characters in each piece as they explore what it means to love, representing romantic, familial, queer, and platonic love along the way.
A must-see for fans of Adele's music, lush vocal harmonies, and brilliant storytelling.
Presented by: Oliver John
