All I can say is, not pointing fingers or anything, but someone must’ve been casting spells backstage to have every single person delivering magical music hits all night long. I adored every minute of this show, to the point where I couldn’t help but sing, dance and laugh along in my seat.
Witching Hour is hosted by everybody’s favourite blonde bombshell, Cece Desist. As usual, Cece is effortlessly charming, hilarious and an absolute delight on stage. Her voice is magnetic, intoxicating and seriously powerful. Each one of her songs is a sultry celebration of all things deliciously villainous, wicked, and downright no-good.
She is joined by the stunning Bridget Allen, who seemed to float across the stage to bring the house down with her spellbinding voice. You know what? Eartha Kitt first suggested it, but these witches finally convinced me. I want to be evil, too! Now, I’m not sure if it was Jess Herbert’s supremely impressive Perth Cabaret Collective, the smoky underground atmosphere of the Ellington Jazz club, or some kind of time-travel related witchcraft, but I really felt like I’d been teleported to a speakeasy in the 1920s.
The PCC band does a fantastic job of evoking the wild, chaotic swing of Prohibition-era jazz and cabaret. You won’t need a single drop of moonshine to appreciate each musician’s skill, especially when they show off with their dazzling solos. Special mentions to Erin Royler and Oliver Taylor, who played some seriously mean jazz and practically set the crowd on fire. Now, that’s hot!
Altogether, Witching Hour is a delightfully spooky night of live music, featuring a stunning nine-piece band accompanying gorgeous witches with phenomenal voices. If you have any inclination whatsoever towards live music, this fabulous show will put you under a love spell with its musical talent, star quality and speakeasy charm. I cannot recommend it highly enough.
