Australian Kim David Smith, a Helpmann Award-nominated singer and cabaret performer, presents More Mostly Marlene at Joe’s Pub at the Public Theater on Tuesday, February 6 at 9:30 PM with a special guest performance by Sidney Myer. Musical direction is by award-winning accompanist Tracy Stark, with Matt Podd (accordion), Skip Ward (bass) and David Silliman (drums).
Queer mega-muses collide with Marlene’s reimagined repertoire in Smith’s musical rearrangements, from Weimar Berlin, to Hollywood, through to the battlefields of Europe and into the stratosphere with Dietrich’s immortal “Ich bin von Kopf bis Fuss.” The show also features costumes by Miodrag Guberinic (Gaga, Madonna, Broadway, film and television).
Smith’s original iteration of “Mostly Marlene” (littered with more than a modest modicum of Minogue, Madonna, Minnelli, and more!) debuted at Club Cumming in 2020 ND enjoyed a sold-out Australian premiere at Alan Cumming’s 2021 Adelaide Cabaret Festival, Followed by more performances at Club Cumming on the Coast (Kennebunkport, Maine), a return to NYC’s Club Cumming in 2022, the Post Office Café (Provincetown) and Café Sabarsky at the Neue Galerie.
Tickets are $25 in advance, $30 at the door. Please visit www.publictheater.org for reservations.
