What the Fandango?!

Award-winning cabaret star Robert Hofmann splits into four powerful personas in his new multi-gendered romp through South America and beyond. Hofmann's brilliant blend of comic genius and musical versatility creates "hilarious, poignant cabaret" (★★★★ The West, 2017 for Desperately Young at Heart.) He breathes life into the lusty leather-clad Helmut Wunderlicher who workshops standard love songs into same-sex serenades. Hofmann transforms into Dr. Gaye Thyme, a glam goddess with magnificent maracas. He inhabits the outspoken Sr Virgillious and deluded church singer Susan Higgins. Featuring legendary musician Cathie Travers and directed by Stuart Maunder, this mix of comedy, classical and contemporary music addresses your sex, their sex and no sex. Come on a wild ride to Rio -- book now!

Presented by: Robert Hofmann
