CABARET - WHAT THE FANDANGO?!

Award-winning cabaret star Robert Hofmann hits the amazing Churchlands Concert Hall with his new musical-comedy show, What the Fandango?! after a smash-hit, five-star-review season at Perth Fringe World Festival

What the Fandango?! is a multi-gendered cabaret romp through South America and beyond starring singer Robert Hofmann in an energetic blend of visual humour, spicy stand-up, and poignant performances peppered with operatic perfection.

Don’t miss the chance to see What the Fandango?! at Churchlands Concert Hall on Wednesday 25th July at 7pm as part of the Churchlands Chamber Concert Series. Meet Hofmann’s whirlwind of comic characters who started life in the award-winning Desperately Young at Heart which played Perth in 2014-17 to rave reviews and sold-out seasons.

Hofmann splits into four powerful personas in his brilliant blend of comic genius and musical versatility creating quirky, compulsory cabaret. He breathes life into the lusty leather-clad Helmut Wunderlicher who workshops standard love songs into same-sex serenades. Hofmann transforms into Dr Gaye Thyme, a glam goddess with magnificent maracas. He inhabits the outspoken Sister Virgillious who risks being shut down by the church that provides a captive audience for her former student, deluded guitar-playing singer, Susan “I know someone just like her” Higgins.

These characters reveal themselves in songs ranging from Schubert to Sondheim as well as three Hofmann originals written for the show.
