Kooky Tunes
is the newest, wildest and silliest Off-Broadway revue from New York
writer Keith Thompson. It's premiere sell-out season in Sydney and
subsequent visits to venues across the country gained impressive audience
and media acclaim. Kooky Tunes wowed audiences when it played in Sydney
earlier this year, and with an Australia-wide tour behind them, the
cast are returning to where it all began with a special return season
at Kabarett Voltaire.
The New York
life of Kooky Tunes started in 1998 at Eighty Eights in the Village
and ran several seasons to huge acclaim, transferring to the Laurie
Beecham Theatre (Off-Broadway) for a sell-out run. But the Kooky impact
was yet to hit its major audience. After the events of September 11
profoundly affected everyone in New York, Keith Thompson started getting
many requests to revive the show, with people saying "Its time to
laugh again." The show opened in the main room at Don't Tell Mamma
and played for several sell-out seasons and was picked up by Jay Records
for a cast recording in 2002. The show takes its audience on a fun,
light-hearted journey through a series of characters and songs, with
a true wacky and Kooky Manhattan flair.
