Five dynamite singers. A grand piano. A string quartet. Fusing concert, cabaret and musical theatre, this intimate evening strips back the songs of the Pet Shop Boys and reinvents them with surprising results. With a cast of five of Australia’s finest singers, experience Pet Shop Boys’ songs as never before. In a five-star review, the Edinburgh News said: “Some things really are worth waiting for, and Seriously is definitely one of them, so queue around the block for tickets.” The Stage called it “a rich and rare thing: a genuine ‘art’ musical that could also be said to be a piece of pop art.”
“Seriously. Pet Shop Boys Reinterpreted” was at the DeMarco Roxy Art House from August 2nd to August 27th. Further seasons of “Seriously” are planned for other cities.

Seriously, Edinburgh.
I saw a wonderful concert by Arooj Aftab in Berlin tonight. She has the most beautiful voice and is accompanied by brilliant musicians who play with a rare delicacy. I’ve been listening to her album “Night Reign” which I highly recommend! Neil x
