Skinny

‘Skinny’ is more than a word. It’s a societal chokehold. An absurd universe of shakes, shapewear and shifty surgeons. But there is an alternative. In this empowering fusion of pop, power ballads and biting comedy, multi-award-winning singer and performer, Michelle Pearson, encourages us to face the mirror and embrace our bodies for all they are. 

Winner of the 2024 Frank Ford AM Commission which saw Skinny make its world debut at the Adelaide Cabaret Festival to rave reviews and standing ovations.

★★★★★ “With a powerful velvety voice, Skinny is everything you could want in a soul deep cabaret show.” Glam Adelaide

★★★★★ “A joy to the ears — sensual and pitch perfect, with a belt to envy.” Stage Whispers
