The Exotic Lives of Lola Montez

From the globally awarded cabaret legends Finucane & Smith comes the 5 star true-lies expose of the wildest showgirl in history and her scandalous tour of Australia!

In 1855, Lola Montez toured the goldfields with “the most libertinish and indelicate performance that could be given on the public stage” (Sydney Morning Herald, 1855). She horsewhipped the editor of the Ballarat Times (for a bad review), swung down mine shafts with champagne in hand, and escaped arrest dressed only in her jewels.

Finucane & Smith’s Lola is an unforgettably joyous night out — a mix of breathtaking storytelling, sultry divas, and jaw-dropping burlesque, steeped in Australian history. Starring triple Best Actress winner Miss Caroline Lee (a direct descendant of Lola herself!), burlesque goddess Maple Rose, operatic darling Piera Dennerstein, and Parisian club kitten Iva Rosebud. Written by Patrick White Playwright Award winner Jackie Smith directed by Queen of Provocative Variety Moira Finucane. And join us post show for The Lola Lounge of laughter, dance, song and drinks at the bar!

Warning: Lola may contain traces of nudity, burlesque, wild dancing and fabulous singing!
