Tarnished

Spawned in the crypt of a suburban church, La La Parlour formed to ignite the stage with their unique chemistry and rollicking antics. Harnessing the skills of four very diverse performers, their signature show, Tarnished, emerged to transform physical theatre.

Tarnished is the comedic off-spring of Circus and Burlesque, and the collaborative blood, sweat and tears of four stunning, skilled and sassy performers with impeccable performance pedigrees:
• The world famous Imogen Kelly - no stranger to the Sydney Opera House stage,
• The deliciously daring Tigerlil of The Happy Sideshow fame,
• The sensational and stretchy Kellie Vella (yes... Kellie Vella),
• And physical-comedy darling Neridah Waters (The Brides of Frank)

As skilled as they are scandalous, the ladies of La La Parlour take pride in putting on shows that immerse audiences in a complete theatrical experience; brimming with astounding acrobatics, audacious aerials, deconstructed chorus-lines, wild whip-cracking, groinal angle-grinding and side-splitting physical comedy.

Tarnished is a roller-coaster ride of a show; a skilled, sexy and hysterical theatrical experience complete with opulent costuming, and a devil-may-care attitude.

This action-packed encounter offers audiences a glimpse beyond the showgirl façade into a world of tattered resplendence. Dripping with obscure elegance and perverse intention, our four chorus cuties produce a show of absurd beauty, glamour and wit.

A festival favourite and a sell-out sensation, Tarnished revives audiences, men and women alike, with the oldfashioned thrill of entertainment.

Bring on the Showgirls!
"Overwhelming and under-clothed, Tarnished is a very exciting show." - Margaret Paul, The Age
"Tarnished cannonballs theatre out of its comfort zone with a blast of brassy, bawdy originality."
- Olivia Stewart, Courier Mail
"Unlike its title, Tarnished shines. Extraordinary energy drives this hysterical pastiche at such a pace that audience members - let alone the performers - are left panting for breath between laughs. Simultaneously celebrating and satirizing the beauty of burlesque, Tarnished reinvents the art form for a modern audience..." - Patrick McDonald, The Adelaide Advertiser
