Described by Broadway World as the "David Bowie of cabaret," "slyly subversive" by the Wall Street Journal, and labeled the "male Marlene Dietrich" by the New York Times, Australian cabaret performer Kim David Smith conjures the glitter, doom, and decadence of 1920’s Berlin and beyond in his intimate celebration of Dietrich’s musical and cultural legacy: “Mostly Marlene.”
Debuting at Club Cumming in March 2020, Mostly Marlene (littered with more than a modest modicum of Minogue) returns to NYC on the heels of a sold-out Australian premiere at Alan Cumming’s 2021 Adelaide Cabaret Festival — queer mega-muses (Kylie, Liza, Madonna, and more) collide with Marlene’s reimagined repertoire, from Weimar Berlin, to Hollywood, through to the the battlefields of Europe and into the stratosphere with Dietrich’s immortal "Ich bin von Kopf bis Fuss.”
Musical direction is by award-winning accompanist Tracy Stark, with costumes by Miodrag Guberinic (Gaga, Minaj, Madonna, etc.).
