Off the wall, hilarious, warm-hearted, totally irreverent and intelligent are just a few of the adjectives used to describe The Cherry Show created by Cherry Bright and to be perfomed this Sunday at Majestic Theatre, Pomona.
“The Cherry Show is better than a chook raffle and lots of fun,“ she says of her show, which is a mix of musical comedy, social satire and parody “dedicated to mocking the ridiculous“.
Singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist Cherry will entertain you on piano, ukulele, kazoo and spoons with her own songs such as Facebook Addiction, On-Line Dating, Noosa in the Summertime, Brazilian Wax and Young Man Blues.
Her parody of Leonard Cohen’s Halleluyah would have Leonard laughing in his grave.
If you’re ready to cringe, she might even do her very naughty song, Why Cucumbers are Better than Men.
Cherry has built up an impressive repertoire of witty and thought-provoking songs. Quite a few of her songs are about the ordinary stuff of our lives and the world we live in – the speed of modern life, love, isolation, internet online dating, Facebook addiction and blooming bush turkeys in the garden.
The Cherry Show will be at Majestic Theatre Pomona at 2pm on Sunday 18 August. Dress code: Red
Tickets $35, $32 concessions, or group of four $29 per person. trybooking.com/CSDVF or themajestictheatre.com.au
