Somebody's Somebody

Cabaret • Theatre

In song and story this sapphic salon celebrates worldly Ms CeCe's youthful awakening, spilling the details of a revelatory encounter with the magnanimous Mrs Monivae Jones, and the women who flocked to her at the Sebel Townhouse Hotel. An ugly duckling story - without all those wretched ducks! Our ingenue finds herself on the so-called Glittering Mile in the swing of Sydney in the sixties.

Dreamt up by Melbourne writer/drag artist Christopher Fieldus, Ms CeCe taps a wellspring of emotionality, paying homage to the many luminous women who inspire her.

"Extraordinary" Aus Arts Review.

"The perfect fit for those with a yen for the old world charm of yesteryear with queer, contemporary twists." The Music.

"Penetrating...vocals - a glorious fusion of James Blake and Kate Bush" AussieTheatre.

Presented by: Ms CeCe Rockefeller
