Claire's pop up petit cabaret presents: GEORGINA HOPSON

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

$90 p/p

 Not one to ever shy away from the spotlight, this Broadway Bumpkin will never say no to holding court. So join her for an evening of music and stories, where she will undoubtedly spin some yarns (most likely very unfiltered and personal), rip some stupidly high notes, and predictably fang out a good music theatre ballad or two (or ten, who knows). Come down to Claire’s and have a feed while your ears are filled with the sweet sounds of bullshit and soprano – she won a Greenroom Award once, so she must be alright.
