Step inside Cabaret Suave and be transported back in time to the golden age of film noir.

Narrated by smooth talking Private Investigator, Dick Johnson, the show seamlessly melds spectacular circus stunts, live music, and theatre into a rip-roaring and spirited story.

Can Dick Johnson dig up the dirt on Cabaret Suave and send them packing? Or will these fierce and fabulous personalities live to dazzle another day?

Bringing everything you love about vintage aesthetics without those pesky vintage values. Come join the queer cuties of Cabaret Suave as they fight for their place in the spotlight for what may be their last hurrah – after all, a little party never killed nobody!
