Let PK entertain you

FIFTY+SA Entertainment Writer, Paul Kitching, shares his his most anticipated events in Adelaide this festival season.

Paul Kitching – aka PK – from Fuller Brand Communication has been out and about enough over his 50+ years to still have his finger on the pulse for the best things to see, do and enjoy in our excellent state. Whilst we all know life starts at 50, we also know what we like and are choosy about how we dedicate our precious spare time. PK reckons these gems are all worthy…

27 Club

Gluttony’s The Fantail

until Sunday 5 March

Winner of Adelaide Fringe’s Best Music Award in 2021, this superb live show features a cast of living legends including Kevin Mitchell (Bob Evans, Jebediah) and Sarah McLeod (The Superjesus) and more who all celebrate the late, great members of the 27 Club. Saluting the rock-star icons who left us too early, aged only 27 (Hendrix, Joplin, Cobain, Winehouse, and Morrison), the 27 Club is simply DO-NOT-MISS material. Rock on!

Music for Other Worlds 

Adelaide Festival, Adelaide Town Hall

Wednesday 15 March

Marrying sound and photography, Music for Other Worlds is an exciting new collaboration between virtuoso keyboardist Paul Grabowsky AO and renowned South Australian artist Alex Frayne. Local star Frayne’s photographic skills will excel in this exciting project as his ethereal photographs are projected at scale; whilst Grabowsky, as a master of improvisation, will spontaneously compose an aural response to the visual masterpieces. An experience to remember!

Come From Away

Her Majesty’s Theatre

From Tuesday 28 March until Sunday 23 April

A musical about September 11 may sound odd but this is one incredible show, and a wonderfully uplifting story about hope and humanity. The worldwide smash hit, Tony and Olivier award-winning musical Come From Away is heading to town and those who know will be so pumped. Based on the incredible real-life events in the wake of the September 11 event when planes were redirected to a remote Canadian town, this is an inspiring musical about unity and kindness in adversity. With an outstanding ensemble this award-winning show is a must-see!
