If they're really so bad, why's the music so good?
From problematic faves to the downright evil, villains are at the heart of some of the best stories that theatre and film have to offer. Where would Simba be without Scar? Fairytales without the Witch? Or the tale of Sweeney Todd without the Demon Barber himself? So when the dark and devious join forces with the power of song, is it any wonder that they steal the show?
Villainous: A Musical Cabaret delivered a night of wicked delight, powerhouse performances and delicious food and drink, as our cast of eight performers and live band took audiences on a journey to explore the stories of the best bad guys musicals have to offer.
Staged in the elegance of Whisky & Wood, audiences could sit back and enjoy the show, cocktail in hand, and let us win them over to the dark side.
