    7.30PM ON THURSDAYS AND FRIDAYS, 6.00PM ON SATURDAYS The popular Cabaret Soirée season is back DownStairs at the Maj over eight weeks playing every Thursday, Friday and Saturday with a sizzling line-up of national and local cabaret acts to blow you away! We have a host of talented performers paying tribute to some of the great legends of the music world including Jim Morrison, Annie Lennox, Dorothy Fields, Sophie Tucker & more…. Cabaret Soirée 2014 kicks off Thursday 21 August to Saturday 23 August with the former star of Wicked and We Will Rock You - Amanda Harrison. Up Close and Reasonably Personal is a candid evening of song and conversation with one of Australia's most prolific musical theatre artist. With hand-picked repertoire by Amanda herself, and a fair dose of humorous self reflection about wrestling the glamour of stage life with the realities of day-to-day domesticity, the show is an intimate, colourful and rare insight into the life of a wife/mother/diva. Please visit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GeeGl2rllrQ The Program continues with: JIM MORRISON: KALEIDOSCOPE FEATURING Luigi Lucente DIRECTOR Nicholas Christo Thu 28 & Fri 29 Aug @ 7.30pm Sat 30 Aug @ 6.00pm Get a glimpse into the curious mind of a rock 'n' roll revolutionary that crashed through the speakers of the 1960’s with the illicit music of THE DOORS. A one man circus takes centre stage as Luigi Lucente (Jersey Boys, Wicked, Guys And Dolls) treats the audience to an unforgettable evening channeling the inimitable Jim Morrison; poet, prophet, shaman and showman.
