GERALDINE TURNER "Turner sparked and fizzed in her 'tween song patter, telling stories not just against others, but against herself with such reckless bravado that were I her, I would probably have sued myself for defamation... Turner and Castles-Onion have contrived a cleverly-structured show. The two generously-crammed halves flew by, such were the contrasts and undulations of a song list without a weak link." ~ John Shand, Sydney Morning Herald "Geraldine Turner in full flight is quite an experience to witness. And when she is good, as she is in this new show, she is very good. On the tight Cafe Nine stage, Geraldine is the driver in charge of her own vehicle - and it makes for a very smooth ride." ~ John Burfitt, Sydney Star Observer "Geraldine's voice is strong and clear and her patter is unpretentious and disarming." ~ Miriam Davis, 2NSB
WIT "The entertainers who
make up WIT are true originals and their work is representative
of the best this country has to offer, based in a brand of "rough
and tumble" humour that is typically Australian." ~
David M Schwartz, New York Cabaret Scene Magazine. "It is a show that is as delightful as it is different, and is performed with a lighthearted and easy comic projection" ~ L.W.Hoffman, Canberra Times "Breezy and brilliantly funny" ~ Sydney Radio 2UE WIT's electric blend of sketches, songs and monologues comes closest to the old style theatrical revue, though with a stronger thematic unity, a sharp contemporary edge." ~ Paul Galloway Brisbane News
PHIL SCOTT "A man, a voice and a piano doesn't really get any better than this." ~ Stephen Dunne, Sydney Morning Herald "If my audience had had their way, we'd still be there" ~ Miriam Davis, 2NSB
PETER COUSENS "Tightly scripted and thoughtfully structured, with plenty of light and shade. The performer is in fine vigorous voice while his phrasing and delivery achieves remarkable clarity and richness. surely the most polished cabaret act in town." ~ Bryce Hallet, Sydney Morning Herald "A gold medal qualifying performance breath-taking Peter Cousens is a champion of the Cabaret Decathlon." ~ David M Schwartz, Cabaret.org Website "The precision of that extraordinary voice Velvety smooth" ~ Colin Rose, The Sun-Herald "With a wonderfully confronting voice in the intimate venue, Peter Cousens mesmerised the audience. It's a great show and Cafe Nine is a great venue. Don't miss either of them ~ Lyndsay Fisher, Feedback Magazine
AVIGAIL HERMAN "Avigail Herman has created a unique musical fabric of songs to deliver a timely message, and at the same time she has succeeded in presenting a show that was both entertaining and profound. Avigail also accomplished the nearly-impossible: she managed to make Time stand still here in Olympic City as she sang about living life Minute By Minute" ~ David M Schwartz, Cabaret.org Website
GINA ZOIA "What a voice! This woman has soul, depth, passion and humour. Crisp, refreshing, a little reflective but not dark - instead she's incredibly bouyant. A soul quenching evening." ~ Ruby Boukabou, Revolver
PAUL MATHERS ".... the very-talented Paul Mathers, a singer of great appeal who, being an actor knows how to perform a song. His "September Song" left us almost in tears" ~ Miriam Davis, 2NSB "Paul Mathers is wonderfully multifaceted.... his skills obvious, he rarely misses a beat and works hard to connect with the audience" ~ Elizabeth Bentley, Drum Media
JENNY VULETIC "Jenny Vuletic presents one of the most entertaining nights of cabaret to be seen in this city this year. A great actress, terrific comic and talented songstress, Vuletic combines those three talents with some of the most hilarious patter ever heard in a cabaret show." ~ John Burfitt, Sydney Star Observer
JACKIE LOEB "Jackie Loeb is a great singing performer who knows how to steer her unique , but very warm and charming , vocal style around a variety of different musical flavours to great effect. She is also a great comic performer and some of her songs, as well as her very clever patter between numbers, were hilarious and had her audience laughing along with her." ~ John Burfitt, Sydney Star Observer
KANE ALEXANDER "A fine voice, clean-cut good looks, a sophisticated set list and impressive self-assurance for someone in his mid-twenties: pop stardom might might be right around the corner for Alexander, but my bet is you're running out of time if you want to catch him in a venue as intimate as Cafe Nine." ~ Colin Rose, The Sun Herald
MITCHELL BUTEL "Butel is better known for his stage work (Laughter on the 23rd Floor, Tartuffe, Mourning Becomes Electra) and TV appearances (Bordertown, Wildside), so it may come as a surprise that he can belt out a song - but let me assure you he can. And with verve." ~ Carrie Kablean, The Sunday Telegraph
TONY DELARTE "As Cole Porter never wrote: "It's de-lightful, it's de-licious, it's Delarte" Catch Tony D, the cream of the crooners, at Cafe 9." ~ Stephen Dunne, Sydney Morning Herald |
