Described by Broadway World as the “David Bowie of cabaret,” “slyly subversive” by The Wall Street Journal, and labeled the “male Marlene Dietrich” by The New York Times, Australian cabaret performer Kim David Smith conjures the glitter, doom, and decadence of 1920’s Berlin and beyond in his intimate celebration of Dietrich’s musical and cultural legacy: Mostly Marlene.
Queer mega-muses (Minogue, Madonna, Minnelli, and more) collide with Marlene’s reimagined repertoire in Smith’s luxurious musical rearrangements, stravaging from Weimar Berlin, to Hollywood, through to the battlefields of Europe and into the stratosphere with Dietrich’s immortal “Ich bin von Kopf bis Fuss.”
Musical direction is by award-winning accompanist Tracy Stark, with costumes by Miodrag Guberinic (Gaga, Minaj, Madonna, Raja Gemini, etc.).
“Smith captures her signature style: the languid delivery, the fluid gestures, the almost predatory sexuality, and those breathtaking moments when she became so still and internal it was a little spooky. None of it feels natural, and that’s precisely the point. Kim David Smith is inspired, indeed.” – Ricky Pope, Broadway World
