Brisbane Festival favourite La Soirée returns to Brisbane this May to introduce the newest members of its dysfunctional family alongside very dear old friends. Get ready to experience La Soirée’s potent cocktail of cabaret, new burlesque, circus sideshow and contemporary variety in a reimagined QPAC Playhouse, where you’ll sit on stage within touching distance of the performers. Ten years bold and fresh from a sold-out world tour with its hottest line-up yet, La Soirée continues to be a theatrical phenomenon, showcasing the creme de la creme of the cabaret world in a unique and inspirational night of live entertainment. So arrive early, get a drink and prepare for a night of thrills, shocks, laughter and disbelief as La Soirée – the original and the best – banishes the blues and leaves you wanting to see it all over again.
