Covergirl: The songs of Madonna

Slide Lounge, Sydney’s home of Cabaret, ecstatically presents Social September, a month-long musical extravaganza.
Social September is here to spoil you with some great French food and entertain you with amazing acts. And the fact that the money raised will go the Reach Foundation to support Australian youth just makes this ongoing event even more irresistible.
As part of the bill, Jeremy Brennan is bringing his latest production to Slide, called Covergirl.
“I conceived the idea after watching Matthew Mitcham’s video go viral (the one he recorded singing ‘Single Ladies’ and accompanying himself on the ukulele),” said Jeremy.
“After seeing his video, I thought there must be so many other celebs with musical ambitions, and so Covergirl was born,” he added.
This is a musical event with a twist.
“We grab a bunch of celebrities with hidden talents, pick one recording artist for each show and tear their songs apart with fun and unusual versions,” explained Jeremy.
Until now, Jeremy’s show has covered and re-hashed songs by Kylie Minogue, The Spice Girls, Britney Spears, Amy Winehouse and Dolly Parton. And this year it is the Queen of Pop, Madonna!
“It’s a terrifically unpredictable night,” said Jeremy.
This year the production, hosted by Michael Griffiths, also has a terrific line-up.
“(It includes) a former ABC news reader, an Olympian, a Bollywood actor, one of the cast of the Lion King who is translating one of Madonna’s iconic songs into Maori, and a pregnant Home & Away actress singing ‘Papa don’t preach, I’m keeping my baby’!”, added an excited Jeremy.
Witness the music of Madonna like never before!
