The outstanding theatrical team behind Vaudeville combines the creative talents of Hutton and Florenca of The Sunroom with the well-known party architect Dirk Vervaeke as the art director. Described as a show that is “Marlene Dietrich's 1930s' Berlin-meets-Tarantino”, it features, in true multi-genre vaudeville theatre tradition, an exceptional cast of local and international performers in a diverse display of burlesque, circus arts and global street entertainment embroidered with visual art technology that interacts uniquely with the performance mix.
Vaudeville is a 300-seater supper club venue offering a spectacular performance over a superb three-course dinner created by Andrea Foulkes and her team at DISH Food & Social whose famous fare is known to be a riot of flavour and colour. Jinx, a five-piece band, will be providing live music that will be a blend of circus Balkan and oompah. The venue also incorporates the Moroccan-themed Fez Club, which is being relaunched by former Fez patron Darren Skinner, and which will enable patrons to continue the party after each show.
Vaudeville has been conceptualised by Robert Sawyer and Tom Pearson-Adams of RSTPA Media, whose vision it is to create the Mother City's most sought-after nightspot. Sawyer, with 25 years' experience in hotels, restaurants and bars, is more qualified than most to embark on a project of this nature. Having successfully floated his UK-based entertainment group Po Na Na in the 1990s, Robert has since turned the once unknown hotel The Farinet in Switzerland's Verbier into the world's number one après ski venue and Vaudeville will be his 100th venue opening.
His business partner Tom Pearson-Adams brings 15 years' experience in and around the European music industry with numerous international broadcast and licensing credits, including the first global Ministry Of Sound DVD and introducing the sales of the George V (Buddha Bar series) label to the UK. They are currently working on a number of European-based projects and own the South African-based book publishing company, Outstanding 100.
