Lead Sister - funnier than even I had thought

I went to my friends Pauline & Paul (Eileen Surepuss & Mr Hanky)'s show Lead Sister at the Powerhouse on Wed, and had a ball. Eileen & Mr Hanky are rehearsing a show about Karen Carpenter at the Blue Knob RSL, and various Carpenters songs illustrate the plight of a penniless cabaret couple trying to do the show of their lives.... until the bushfires roll into town.

The highlight of the show for me was the extension of "Call Occupants of Interplanetary Craft" (not my fave Carpenters number), when Eileen has to retire from the number with a groin strain after attempting the splits. Mr Hanky continues into an Epic medley of evey famous Sci-fi theme of the last 30 years...

Bonus: It's cabaret layout, so you can get a table if you get there early, and there's a bar operating inside the Visy Theatre. Sadly it closes on Saturday... so cancel your other commitments, and get onto the powerhouse web booking page and go!
