Trevor Ashley in Fat Swan @ The Seymour Centre 7-17 December 2011 (Sydney)

2011 has been Trevor Ashley’s year - he kicked it off with a sold out season of Liza on an E! at Midsumma Festival, won the Best Cabaret Production category for I’m Every Woman at Sydney Theatre Award, shined on stage as Edna Turnblad in Hairspray, and recently performed with Maria Venuti as her musical director at Slide. 

He tops it off with a new cabaret panto Fat Swan at the Seymour Centre for 10 nights only. 

The world of ballet can be dangerous. Between pink pointe shoes, tutus and tulle lies the brutal truth that people would actually kill for a role… Based on Black Swan, the year’s biggest movie was dark, gripping and psychologically disturbing… but if you thought that was disturbing, just wait for… Fat Swan: an adults-only Christmas Panto. It’s everything the film was… only with songs, audience participation and men dressed up as women.

Fat Swan is a laugh-a-minute musical romp with an all-star cast featuring Trevor Ashley (Hairspray, Priscilla, Liza on an E!, I’m Every Woman), Tara Morice  (Strictly Ballroom, Dance Academy), Lisa Adam (Jersey Boys, Rocky Horror, Amy Housewine) and Brendan Moar (Host of TV’s The Renovators), together with a fabulous live band.
