Dear Blossom | Melbourne Cabaret Festival
Music, tales and obsessions of Cult Chanteuse, Blossom Dearie.
Award-winning jazz vocalist and leading lady, Fem Belling, brings to life the independent spirit and wistful romanticism of Blossom Dearie, the ‘childlike’ vocalist with a caviar taste in songs and musicians.
An aural, visual and emotional journey through Blossom’s music and the tales of her performances, the show blurs the line between jazz and cabaret with needling wit and a twist of obsession.
Fem has played in jazz clubs around the world, performed for Her Majesty The Queen at The Royal Variety Show, tread the boards of London’s West End theatres and exploded onto the Melbourne jazz and musical theatre scenes (leading roles in The Boy From Oz, Hairspray, Fame, Footloose, Cats) … and now cabaret.
