BLANC DE BLANC ENCORE
The show that sold out the Sydney Opera House finally makes its return to Sydney, this time at a fabulous new Strut & Fret venue on the edge of Surry Hills.
This iconic building has been totally revamped into a glam and gilded space fit for a champagne cabaret you’ll never forget!
The five-star extravaganza BLANC DE BLANC ENCORE, is a smash-hit show from creative geniuses, Strut & Fret; the team behind Madonna’s Rebel Heart tour and international sensations BLANC DE BLANC (original), LIFE – THE SHOW, and LIMBO. Expect all the beautiful champagne-soaked debauchery from the original Blanc de Blanc, sparkling with new surprises.
It’s time to immerse yourself in the hedonistic, glamorous and extravagant world of vintage French flair, risqué humour, spectacular aerials, comedy and big dance numbers.
With its acclaimed international cast, this intoxicating Gatsby-esque ride astonishes and delights with its unique brand of opulent, cheeky, edge-of-your-seat theatre.
We recommend you arrive at least 30 minutes prior to showtime, so you can find your seat and grab a drink without needing to rush.
Dress Code: Smart-casual but audiences are encouraged to glam it up with a touch of sparkle, if the mood takes you!
