\nBarry Humphries-Australia’s greatest entertainer, best known to audiences around the world as Dame Edna Everage-curates, presents, and performs the degenerate music of Berlin’s Weimar Republic (1920s-1930s) including jazz, cabaret, tango, and Broadway-musical style pieces. The hedonistic partying and social revolution of this era is re-awakened in this full-throttle concert, featuring transgressive cabaret sensation Meow Meow in the racier numbers. Hear songs by Kurt Weill including The Threepenny Opera’s “Pirate Jenny,” see Barry Humphries and Meow Meow sing the duet “Mousie” and dance a tango, and join Mr. Humphries as he rediscovers the lost music of Krenek, Schulhoff, Toch, Brandt, Grosz, and more.<\/p>\n
