Ali McGregor - Jazz CigaretteThe Spiegeltent22 & 23 Feb at 9.45pm Tickets $30 (Conc $25) After a sell out run at last year’s Adelaide Cabaret Festival, Ali McGregor (star of La Clique, Opera Australia and The Opera Burlesque) returns to her favourite venue – The Spiegeltent. Backed by a trio of Australia’s hottest young jazz musicians, Ali launches her long awaited debut CD “Jazz Cigarette” – featuring classic jazz ballads and sassy blues made famous by Billie, Ella and Britney… These are the songs that made her want to sing, from Cole Porter’s "So in Love" and Gershwin’s "The Man I Love" to unique interpretations of Eurythmic’s "Sweet Dreams" and Britney’s "Oops I did it Again". Don’t miss out on this superb hour of song from one of this country’s most versatile singers. "Opera singer turned pop reinventor turned comedienne, Ali McGregor, now gives the jazz repertoire a much-needed makeover in her inimitable, sexed-up style" Adelaide Advertiser "...a fusion of operatic purity and soulful improvisation." Adelaide Advertiser "...sparkles with sexy playfulness, moving simplicity and a beautiful warm tone." The Age After 5 years as a principal soprano with Opera Australia, Ali has leapt into the world of cabaret and variety with her Variety Night becoming a cult hit at both Melbourne Comedy and Edinburgh Fringe Festivals. Her Opera Burlesque show opened up the realms of cross-genre cabaret and her new show Jazz Cigarette has already sold out The Spiegeltent in Melbourne. Her debut album of the same name features Australian jazz legend James Morrison. www.alimcgregor.com Bookings thru FringeTix - 1300 FRINGE (1300 374 643) or www.adelaidefringe.com.au
