Xiqu Centre

The city is gearing up for a dazzling dose of cabaret magic. This June, the inaugural WestK Cabaret Festival, presented by WestK Performing Arts, takes the stage at the Xiqu Centre with a nine-day carnival of cross-cultural music, dance, comedy and storytelling from May 30 to June 7. The city’s first-ever cabaret festival is an immersive extravaganza, featuring Broadway stars, Parisian icons, West End headliners, and a dazzling line-up of local talents all under one roof. Whether you're craving a sophisticated date night, a wild evening with friends, or just a fantastic excuse to dress up, here is why this festival needs to be on your radar. Expect something different on every stage. The main stage at Grand Theatre is stacked with unmissable highlights. Catch three-time Tony Award winner and Broadway legend Patti LuPone in her only Asian stop with A Life in Notes (June 3), or experience the flamboyant overseas premiere of Mon Premier Cabaret by Paris’ oldest and most historic Paradis Latin (June 6-7). Do not miss the Asian debut of four-time World Irish Dance Champion, Bobby Fox, in Mr. Entertainment (June 2), and local star Alex Lam’s sci-fi cabaret, 3026: A Cantopop Odyssey (June 4) and more. The allure goes beyond the main stage. If you prefer your entertainment with a cocktail in hand, the Tea House Theatre is your destination, which sees no barrier between stage and audience, creating an intimate, bar-style atmosphere perfect for edgy, fringe-style musical comedies...
