Cheek to Cheek: A Ballroom Fantasia
This winter, The Sydney Gay and Lesbian Choir will be presenting a glorious performance entitled Cheek to Cheek. This will be presented in the third week of June, in conjunction with the same sex ballroom community and some great musical theatre performers.
Cheek to Cheek tells the queer tale of Frederika and Roger (Ginger, to his friends) who have been ballroom dance partners since they were children. Things change during the Tasman Strait Ballroom Dancing Championships when an incident makes them realise that want to be their true selves. Their Cinderella type story is helped along by the appearance of their ‘Fairy Godmother’, a drag queen on her way to the ‘Rainbow Ball’.
This production stars Johanna Allen as Frederika, Ben Palumbo as Ginger and Tom Sharah as the ‘Fairy Godmother’. With the combination of this talent along with the amazing Sydney Gay and Lesbian Choir, it is sure to be a fabulous, glittering, and fun performance. Be sure to book your tickets quick as it is only on for the weekend. You wouldn’t want to miss this show. (LB)
