Darling of the New York cabaret scene Salty Brine returns to Soho Theatre with his latest sensational show.
Following a critically-acclaimed run at last year's Edinburgh Fringe, darling of the New York cabaret scene Salty Brine returns to Soho Theatre with his sensational band. This 90-minute show, presented with Soho Theatre, has something for everyone: musical theatre aficionados, classic lit nerds, transformative theatre addicts, Annie Lennox mega-fans, Judy Garland gays, late-night drag queens and those who love them, and everyone who loves a great night out!
“The outrageously talented Salty Brine takes classic pop albums—from Joni Mitchell’s Blue to the Dirty Dancing soundtrack—and weaves their songs into funny, perceptive tapestries of storytelling. The shows are highly addictive: Once you’ve been dunked into Brine, you’ll want to dive right back in.” Time Out New York
Annie Lennox’s transcendent solo album DIVA stands at the centre of this sparkling story about strong, defiant women and the little gay boy who loves them. Careening from Judy Garland’s definitive Carnegie Hall concert to Kate Chopin’s groundbreaking feminist novel The Awakening, Salty Brine defies the cabaret form in ways that must be witnessed to be believed. High camp and heartbreaking drama collide as Brine charts his way, track by track, through Lennox’s masterpiece.
Salty Brine is the creative force behind The Living Record Collection, a dazzling expedition into the heart of popular music, imagining track lists as blueprints for evenings of musical mayhem. Salty Brine deftly weaves together iconic, popular albums with major cultural touchstones from classic literature to opera and beyond, performing each album with a live band and his own unique brand of memoir-esque storytelling.
