Show Description

Showgirls & Sharks: A madcap musical autobiography. 
The true story of how a young girl ran away with the circus and became a Burlesque legend. 
 Showgirls & Sharks follows fearless “FooFoo LaBelle” through an incredible musical re-telling of her life’s story. 

Accompanied by musical Maestro Jenna Dyckhoff, the all-singing, all-dancing duo expose the secrets of a globe-trotting showgirl.

This unique evening of storytelling, song and cabaret is a funny and touching quest for stardom that spans four decades and three continents.  
An unbelievable tale of womanhood, showbusiness, and finding home will have you singing along, laughing out loud, and wiping away tears. Suitable for a variety of audiences from 16+ www.dyckhoffandgawne.com As part of our tour offer we are including a workshop “Confidence through Cabaret” for audience members at no extra cost. Depending on the venue’s location, this can take place before the show or the day after, if overnight accommodation is available. Here’s a short review from one of our debut shows at Porters theatre Cardiff. “It’s a wonderful piece of theatrical entertainment. It covers the making of a showgirl in six "simple" steps, telling the story of the multi-talented entertainment powerhouse that is "FooFoo Labelle". There are happy bits, there are sad bits. To most people, the life described takes place in another universe, and it certainly is, but this production just oozes authenticity. The double-act is seamless, with Gawne sharing the tale of her life with Dyckhoff providing the structure, music and cues and banter, keeping FooFoo firmly grounded. Pure entertainment - fascinating, thought provoking, inspiring and funny”. Please email us to request a show venue pack or further information about the workshop.
