Hold on to your seats – you’re in for a treat.
Cherry Bright, the Ukulele Lady of Noosa and former president of the Majestic Theatre, Pomona, is excited to be performing her own production called The Cherry Show, a musical comedy filled with social satire to mock the ridiculous.
Off-the-wall, funny, intelligent, theatrical, inventive, totally irreverent and just a little bit naughty, this show is bursting at the seams with uplifting good vibes, sing-a-longs and plenty of interaction. Cherry is a musician and quirky songwriter who plays ukulele, keyboard, harmonica and spoons. She likes to mock the ridiculous with comedic songs – entwined with social satire.
As part of her former duo, The Cherry Ripes, she has performed at the Adelaide Fringe Festival and many festivals on the Sunshine Coast and North Queensland and many house concerts. Her original songs highlight topical issues such as – Facebook addiction, on-line dating, trendy café blues, her aging body, bloody bush turkeys, Brazilian waxing – Ouch, summertime in Noosa and her infamous Cucumber Song.
Cherry’s believes that we need more laughter in our lives especially if we have trauma around us.
“If we’re feeling down, we need more joy, not less,“ she said.
“Bring on the laughter and share it around. Laughter is good medicine and boosts the immune system better than any medicines. We can’t change what is happening around us globally but we can choose whether we laugh or cry. We need to laugh and a sense of community for our mental health so that we have fuller tanks with which to service all other areas of our lives. We need laughter and connection. Life is short so laugh hard.“
Cherry’s first show is also her birthday which was the catalyst to get back on the stage – “before it’s too late“.
Special guests in the show include Cherry Attric, Wild Cherry, Green Cherry, Cherry Tart, Sour Cherry, Cherry on a Spoon and Cherry on Top.
As a former primary music teacher, Cherry will have you singing along and joining in the fun.
Local support act, the very fabulous Poppy’s Puppets will be special guests at the Cooran and Kin Kin Shows.
There are several shows coming up at Cooran, Kin Kin, Nambour and Eudlo, all starting at 6.30pm, giving people a chance to experience local restaurants before the show.
Tickets $25 on trybooking.com/CFEFX
