The Rise And Fall Of Little Voice

Event Date: 15/05/2014, 07:30 pm

Finding your own voice can be magic!
The Rise and Fall of LITTLE VOICE
by Jim Cartwright, directed by Christine Firkin
-- Winner Olivier Award for Best Comedy --

Blown fuses, real and metaphorical, punctuate the action with flashes of pent-up energy in this acclaimed play coming to the inner west’s New Theatre in May.

The powerful, gritty and darkly funny production won popular and critical praise in its recent premiere run at the Zenith Theatre. It comes to Newtown by invitation… and popular demand.

“Touching amusing and nostalgic, talented Neilson steals the show,” – What’s On Sydney
“This show will touch your heart, bring a smile to your lips, and perhaps some tears too.” Sydney Arts Guide
“I doubt that the West End or Broadway could have delivered a better production...outstanding!” – Weekend Notes

Debbie Neilson stars as ‘LV’ the diminutive, troubled heroine. She frequently plunges the dilapidated house she shares with her alcoholic mother into darkness by playing her dead father's records at a volume matched only by the soulful power of her own vocal impressions.

Little Voice has a hidden talent: she can channel every iconic chanteuse from Garland and Bassey to Monroe and Piaf. She hides in her room, crooning and dreaming of love, while her disheveled mother mistakes a seedy agent's interest as affection rather than his true enthusiasm for the goldmine he imagines LV will deliver him. This is an engaging fairy tale of despair, love and - finally - hope as LV struggles to find a voice of her own.

Directed by Christine Firkin, the all-star cast features Wendy Morton, Nick Bolton, Kevin Weir, Luke Reeves, Michelle Bellamy, Mark Reiss and the extraordinary talents of Debbie Neilson as LV.

This strictly limited season of just seven performances plays (by invitation) at the New Theatre, Newtown from 15-24 May, Thursday to Saturday 7:30pm plus Sun 5pm. Final performance Sat 24th May at 5pm. Don’t miss it!

Tango Paradiso

Event Date: 10/05/2014, 08:30 pm

One of Australia's best Tango Orchestras!
Tango Paradiso are considered one of Australia’s best and most established tango orchestras, bringing the electric energy and smouldering passion of tango alive.

Born in the bordellos of Buenos Aires at the turn of last century, the dance of tango is considered by some to be somewhat reminiscent of ‘vertical sex’. The music that inspires the dance plays the field between the harmonic complexities of jazz, the technical brilliance of classical music to finish finally in the silky sensuality of Piazzolla’s great tango tunes.

With the acclaimed South American pianist Daniel Rojas (winner of this month’s Limelight magazine CD of the month) astounding Slav violinists Moshlo and Romano Crivici, ex principal flute with the Australian Opera, Carla Thackrah and talented bassist Bella Brown, the band is a mix of the best and wildest musical temperaments on offer!

This night they’re joined by the wonderful voice of Nadia Piave, a singer well know to ABC radio listeners with a repertoire ranging from renaissance song through to cabaret and world music.

The band has performed and recorded in Buenos Aires, the home of tango, as well as having played to acclaim at many world music and tango festivals around Australia and is a regular at the Woodford Folk Festival.

Try out your tango moves or just watch the experts on the floor. Either way you’re in for a night of sensual pleasure.

V.D.

Event Date: 07/05/2014, 07:30 pm

VD by Pete Malicki
“Every year she’s single on Valentine’s Day, Sophie buys a cat. She has 10 cats…”

After full houses and standing ovations in April, V.D. is returning to the New for another three shows. This one-woman comedy explores the life of Sophie, a 35-year-old romantic who likes a bit too much gin. We join her as she falls in and out of love, struggles with power plays in her new job, and travels to India on a journey of spiritual (un)enlightenment.

Written by Australia’s leading monologue playwright, Pete Malicki, V.D. has won a total of 13 awards, including Best Play and Best Comedy at Short+Sweet Auckland 2013, Best Theatre Performance at Brighton Fringe, People’s Choice Winner and Best Comedy at Short+Sweet Brisbane 2011. It’s performed by Eliza St John, who won Best Actress at an international festival in Chennai, India in 2013.

As a 10 minute play, it has been performed in Sydney, Canberra, Brisbane, Melbourne, Auckland, Malaysia, England, US, Scotland (Edinburgh Fringe), Philippines and India.
Eliza flies to Brighton England the day after closing night to perform V.D. there.

“…a hilarious and deeply entertaining hour-long monologue in which Eliza St john carries the audience in the palm of her hand, perfectly delivering Malicki’s script… I’ve seen a few of Pete Malicki’s plays now, but this is by far his strongest, the wit and confidence shining through every performed word. V.D. is a simple tale, beautifully told, but it is achingly funny, made all the more so by St John’s excellent performance. She owns the character Sophie; they have morphed into one.” Review

“V.D. left audience members in stitches with lines such as ‘Did you ever notice how Valentine’s Day shares the same initials as venereal disease?’ This script is electrically performed by Eliza St John, whose personality and talent is stunningly showcased in this stellar performance.” Review

Kristen Fletcher Trio - Quick Tix

Event Date: 05/05/2014, 08:30 pm

Pop & Jazz Fusion
Foundry616 is delighted to welcome this exciting young trio to the stage for the first time.

Kristen’s trio has been performing for the past 5 years with Carlo Tapia on bass & Dom Cabrera on drums. With each musician accomplished in their own right, they enjoy taking risks & pushing boundaries making each show a unique experience. KF3 have created a sound that is "rather unique on Australian shores" according to Tone Deaf in relation to their effortless blend of pop & jazz fusion. The trio fuse electronic elements with the iconic jazz sound & some serious funk, with Kristen's smooth vocals being the glue that holds it all together.

In 2013, the trio embarked upon their most exciting endeavour yet, the recording & releasing of their self-titled debut album.

Currently they are preparing for their first International Tour to the Philippines in May so come and catch this farewell gig where you are guaranteed to hear them in top form.
