New York, New York?

New York, New York?  Looks at what happens when an opera singer and a music theatre performer find themselves in the Big Apple. These Perth girls look at university life, exorbitant rent, the cold, studying and the audition circuit in a beautifully sung cabaret that is also great fun.

Based on their real-life experiences, WAAPA Graduates - Music Theatre Performer Morgan Cowling, and opera singer Caitlin Cassidy - team up in this love letter to the City That Never Sleeps that is laugh out loud funny. 

The songs are brilliant. with highlights including Morgan’s “The Girl in 14G” and “Broadway Baby” and Caitlyn’s “Poisoning Pigeons in the Park” and the “Cruda Sorte” Aria from L’Italiana in Alceri,

Accompanied by pianist Ben Hogan, Caitlin and Morgan also sing beautifully together with great moments including the title song “New York, New York” and the audience participation finale, “NYC” from Annie.

New York, New York?  is a polished, slick, and expertly performed cabaret that deserves a life beyond Fringe World. A joy to watch.
