What would Charles and Diana have sung as a duet? Are dogs better company than men? Is it ever too late to fall in love? Join award-winning cabaret artists Penny Shaw and Robert Hofmann as they explore the rich repertoire of duets inspired by love in its less than romantic forms and solo roles they would never be cast in! Enjoy the irrepressible talent of pianist Tommaso Pollio, the music of Sondheim, Bernstein, Lloyd-Webber and more. These seasoned performers will take you everywhere from Downton Abbey to Downtown New York with some unexpected stops along the way!
“Perth connoisseurs of sophisticated light entertainment know they are in good hands with baritone Robert Hofmann (“fresh from New York”) and soprano Penny Shaw.” Sandra Bowdler, See Saw Magazine
