Folks in the San Francisco: NYC is sending you one of the most exciting cabaret shows seen so far in 2010! Currently based in NYC, Australian cabaret artist Kim Smith makes his West Coast debut at RRAZZ ROOM at THE HOTEL NIKKO (222 Mason Street, San Francisco, CA - 415-394-1189 - ) on Sunday, July 11th at 9:00 pm with "Morphium," a dark and glittering evocation of the decadence and decay of 1930's Europe. Kim Smith reinterprets works by Weimar-era composers, and modern-day artists alike, from Mischa Spoliansky and the Supremes, to Kurt Weill and Kylie Minogue. Steven Beck accompanies on piano, Christian Coulson directs.
I saw the show in NYC a few months ago when it played at DON'T TELL MAMA and was completely captivated - the lad is hypnotic. Since then he's played to sold-out houses at JOE'S PUB and NEUE GALERIE, then went to Australia to perform, to sold out houses and with fantastic critical acclaim, at the ADELAIDE CABARET FESTIVAL and in Melbourne at THE BUTTERFLY CLUB.
If you want to see the next big thing in cabaret, this is a show you MUST attend - one night only. "Smith is a cabaret practitioner who understands his craft and uses every nuance, gesture and lascivious lyric to keep the crowd involved and on the edge of their comfort zones." - Matt Byrne, Adelaide Sunday Mail.
