The Art House Wyong is excited to announce its first direct transfer from the Sydney Festival as part of the Summer@ The Art House program over January. Send for Nellie<\/em> is a cabaret performance in celebration of likely the most talented performer in Australia during the 30s that you\u2019ve never heard of. For 40 years, Nellie Small was an entertainment industry legend, a dashing figure who sang jazz and blues in prestige nightclubs. Donned in a sleek top hat and tails, the West-Indian Australian-born singer and cross-dressing cabaret artist was a non-conformist and groundbreaker back when it wasn\u2019t fashionable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sending you back to a 1930s jazz club with powerhouse performer Elenoa Rokobaro (RENT, Caroline, or Change; Tick, Tick\u2026 Boom<\/em>) as Nellie Small, this co-commissioned production marks an exciting partnership with Send for Productions and Sydney Festival as this premiere show hits the stage. In this one-of-a-kind opportunity, guests will be seated at tables directly on the main Art House stage alongside the performer in true cabaret style. Adding to the full cabaret experience is the opportunity to pre-order an antipasto or cheese platter to share during the performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of the Summer@ The Art House program Send for Nellie<\/em> will take place alongside other high-quality shows, workshops, pop-up events, and other activities. The program brings together one month of music, comedy, kids\u2019 shows\u2019, summer vibes, and balmy nights. Don\u2019t miss any of the Summer@ The Art House action, and stay up to date on their website, social media, and newsletters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The highly regarded Nellie Small was the singer who was called upon when a show was falling short of raising the roof, they would shout \u2018Send for Nellie!\u2019. So, in celebration of this historical Australian arts figure, the Central Coast is lucky to have this extraordinary Australian story coming straight to its doorstep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
