From the moment the doors opened at 6:30pm, the dedicated team worked hard to ensure the atmosphere was electric and the guests were well attended to. If anything, they were a little ‘too attentive’ at times by prematurely taking plates and glasses.

The theme of the cabaret show is Disco so we were treated to a soundtrack of funky throwbacks to groove along to, some even sang live by the resident singer, also known as The Mistress.

Amy Black who starred as The Mistress and hostess for the evening made us feel comfortable and included with a good level of audience participation. She was a playful and seemed experienced at bringing energy to the room.  

Throughout the evening we were presented with a plethora of theatre including fire shows, burlesque, acrobatic acts, silk, hair hanging, dancers and live singers. The final half an hour was a chance for the guests to boogie and enjoy tunes of the DJ and even meet and greet the cast.

One notable moment was the dance competition whereby they took three members of the audience onto the stage to battle it out with their best moves. I think we were very lucky as it seems we had a trained dancer bust out an unexpected box-split roll before our very eyes!

I did find the quality of the costumes to be a little less than desired, bordering on fancy dress. I believe that with higher budget outfits, it would easily raise the level of sophistication to match the beautiful venue.
