Skank Sinatra: The Name on Everybody's Lips

Award-winning cabaret sensation Skank Sinatra returns with a BRAND NEW glittering cabaret spectacle bursting with powerhouse vocals, biting comedy and Broadway classics turned deliciously sideways.


Prepare for an hour with one of Australia’s most magnetic live cabaret performers, featuring big hair, a live pianist and more costume reveals than Liza has sequins. 


From Cabaret to Hamilton, Evita to Sondheim, this is musical theatre elevated, unhinged and gloriously misbehaved. 


Skank Sinatra is the name’s on everybody’s lips. Come find out why.
