Wales Millennium Centre launches CABARET season
Family shows, music, drag, dance, comedy and more!
Wales Millennium Centre will be welcoming audiences back into its iconic building in Cardiff Bay from July 15 as it launches a summer-long programme of the very best acts from the world of cabaret, music and theatre to the Weston Studio.
The Cabaret Season includes daytime giggles, family theatre and live music, contemporary comedy, fierce drag and bare-faced burlesque in the evenings.
Providing a much-needed celebration of the powerful role the arts can play in reuniting family and friends though laughter, interactive dance and music, Wales Millennium Centre is thrilled to launch a diverse and hilarious six-week programme of performances that will delight all audiences.
Curated to offer something for everyone, the Cabaret season showcases many talented Welsh artists and celebrates diversity in all its guises, with an enormous emphasis on laughter and carefree fun.
Highlights of this eclectic and inclusive line up include the sell-out drag show Margaret Thatcher Queen of Soho, the hilarious hit musical How To Win Against History alongside critically acclaimed comedy featuring our Cardiff’s own, Leroy Brito. Live jazz, soul and world music nights with a Welsh connection bring live music thankfully back to the stage, we have inspiring storytelling and comedy for children including Theatr Genedlaethol Cymru and Os Nad Nawr’s production Glwad Yr Asyn, not to mention a dedicated week of contemporary Welsh language programming.
Peter Darney, Cabaret’s Producer adds: “This season is full of the most amazing artists, and a load of firsts. Along with Burlesque, we are bringing Wales’ first Boylesque night, the chance to take part in GQ’s top voted things to do at home; Dolly Trolley Drag Aerobics, and supporting the Welsh Ballroom Community with the First Welsh KiKi Ball! Cabaret is a broad church- lets come together to pray and slay!”
