After Dark Cabaret: Bourbon and Broadway

Bourbon and Broadway
Get ready for live performances of your favourite musical theatre numbers from every era on Broadway—duets with bite, and full-throttle showstoppers. Take your chances with our infamous “Belt It or Botch It” game, where brave souls step into the spotlight. And to top it all off? We’re closing the night with a musical twist like no other: the most epic game of Broadway Bingo you’ve ever played.

Step into the shadows and surrender to the allure of After Dark: A Cabaret Affair—a decadent fundraiser series in support of Sassafras & Co.'s upcoming production of A Streetcar Named Desire. This isn’t just a show. It’s an experience. An invitation to a world where sultry melodies, raw emotion, and unapologetic artistry collide under the glow of dim-lit chandeliers.

For five unforgettable nights, we’re turning up the heat with a lineup of powerhouse vocalists, smouldering movement, and show-stopping performances that pulse with desire, heartbreak, and unrelenting fire.
