Kim David Smith & Bright Light Bright Light: Padam Butterfly – All the Lovers and Then Some

PADAM BUTTERFLY: ALL THE LOVERS AND THEN SOME: Queer mischief abounds as Pop wunderkind Bright Light Bright Light joins forces with internationally fame-ish cabaret entertainer, Kim David Smith, in a glittering evening of Pride-affirming pop; decadent, dance-diva worship; and torchy, untempered tenderness! Your favorite gay immigrant's favorite gay immigrants are joined by music director Brian Nash, and special guests: cabaret legend Sidney Myer, soprano supreme Ariadne Grief, and more to be announced!

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 artist Kim David Smith specializes in the repertoire of the Weimar Republic, and outré reinterpretations of classic torch songs (with a fiercely-camp focus on the music of Marlene Dietrich, Liza Minnelli, and Kylie Minogue). Smith's latest live-and-more album, Mostly Marlene, is streaming worldwide.

Electro-pop vocalist, DJ, composer, and producer, Bright Light Bright Light (aka South Wales-born, NYC-based Rod Thomas), takes you on an 80s/90s influenced rollercoaster ride through the queer experience, via his vast catalogue of glimmering, original songs; to date, four of his albums have reached the top 20 on the UK Independent Albums Chart - 2024's 'Enjoy Youth' being the 8th best-selling album in the country on its week of release - and his latest duet with Ana Matronic charted at #10 on the UK Commercial Pop charts.
