Cast announced for Christmas cabaret show THE GROTTEAUX at Woolwich Works
Casting has been announced for a Christmas cabaret show like no other, Shotgun Carousel’s The Grotteaux, running at Woolwich Works from 16 December 2021-8 January 2022.
Lilly Snatchdragon will host the Christmas extravaganza, and will be joined by burlesque star Cleopantha, Mark Anthony, Len Blanco, Leah Kirby and musician Isobella Burnham.
Audiences can expect a festive show for everyone with glitz, camp showbiz glamour, drag, cabaret, circus, magic, variety and comedy. Dust off your baubles, dig out your sequins and step inside The Grotteaux for an outrageous cabaret-filled Christmas soirée. To provide that classic cabaret feel, live music and original tunes will come from The Carousel’s House Band, with every night featuring a variety of special VIP guests who will be announced soon!
The Grotteaux fuses an old school variety format with fresh exciting performance, putting a contemporary twist on some classic Christmas tropes. High-brow meets low-brow, opulent West End meets East London dive bar; The Grotteaux is a place where all walks of life can come, be entertained, eat, drink (with or without alcohol!) and be merry and enjoy a little seasonal magic.
Writer and director Molly Beth Morossa said: “Everyone has a different experience of Christmas and the festive season, The Grotteaux speaks to these different experiences, and validates all of them. I’m so proud to be collaborating with such talented and diverse artists to create an inclusive, welcoming festive show that will have something for everyone, including those who don’t necessarily fit the Perfect, White Christmas, John Lewis Ad, everyone singing together round the piano, Nuclear Family category. The LGBTQ+ community are well versed with the notion of chosen family, the cast of our show are chosen family, and we can’t wait to fling open the doors and welcome everybody in, regardless of sexuality, race, gender identity, religion, class or anything else! A show to bring some sparkle, joy and togetherness when we need it the most.”
