Claire's pop up petit cabaret presents: AMBER MARTIN (1)

3 courses from our a la carte menu and 2 twenty minute sets

$95 p/p

After sold-out first show, Amber now brings a second show to Sydney, her hilarious, loving tribute to early, Bathhouse-era Bette Midler... in her Broadway World award-nominated Bathhouse Bette. This performance focuses on the early 70's, when a 26 year-old, hungry, as-yet-unknown chorus girl, Bette Midler, got her chops as the resident firecracker chanteuse singing at the legendary Continental Baths uptown (now a parking lot under The Ansonia). She earned her "camp medal" in the hot & steamy bathhouse, singing to men in towels, still wet from the pool and other dark spaces. Her also as-yet-unknown house accompanist was none other than Barry Manilow. As per the fashion of bawdy Bette... copious amounts of singing, stories and dancing ensue! Amber will be performing live with special steamy surprises & her very own "Barry" from Sydney... MD/Pianist Jeremy Brennan!
