Hidden Sydney - The Glittering Mile
Immerse yourself in a sinfully good time at “THE NEVADA” at The World Bar, Mansion Lane, Kings Cross during September and October.
Hidden Sydney- an immersive cabaret experience is set over four floors of “The Nevada”, the former Sydney brothel which boasted the biggest bed in the world. This new theatrical event will play from 16 September.
The ensemble cast includes Ray Badran, Gerard Carroll, Lauren Clair, Gary Clementson, Paul Dowson, Virginia Gay, Ben Gerrard, Thomas Gundry Greenfield, Christa Hughes, Fiona Jopp, Brenden Lovett, Rob Mills and Aaron Robuck.
This talented ensemble will play characters that range from barmen, homeless poets and drug dealers to performers at the Chevron Silver Spade and the showgirls from Les Girls.
During the experience, quick-witted bouncers, madams of the night, drag queens, crooks, entertainers and eccentrics alike relive the world of the Cross during the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s.
Immerse yourself in the stories of Bea Miles, Abe Saffron, Roie the Witch, Standover Jim and the iconic Les Girls. Rub shoulders with the crims and crooks of the day, finishing up with last drinks at the Chevron Silver Spade.
"Abe Saffron was a nice man. With crims, all you have to be is a lady,you behave like an absolute lady” - Lorrae Desmond MBE, Entertainer, Actress
"Every night was like News Year Eve …fun and laughs, tit and tinsel” – Monique Kelly- member of Les Girls from 1973 to 1997
“I remember when Les Girls went to Long Bay Jail and did a show in the yard…for hundreds of prisoners ...ohh they enjoyed it!”–Wayne Martin, Manager and Host of the Pink PussyCat
