It’s time to ring that bell and check in for an intoxicating blend of Parisian cabaret, dazzling aerial artistry and breathtaking burlesque. Following sold-out seasons at the Sydney Opera House and the Adelaide Cabaret Festival, L’Hôtel returns to Sydney this winter, taking over the brand new Foundry Theatre from May 24 to July 6.
Sydney’s own enfant terrible prince of pop Brendan Maclean takes centre stage, causing mischief alongside acting legend John Waters (Offspring, All Saints, Bloom) as L’Hôtel’s devoted hotelier, as well as a jaw-dropping cast of multi-talented entertainers.
The creation of visionary director Craig Ilott (Gatsby at the Green Light, Amadeus) and designer Stuart Couzens, this fresh twist on L’Hôtel promises to be more extravagant than ever. The pair describe the show as a world where temptation lurks in every shadow: “L’Hôtel is where elegance meets mischief, where stolen glances turn into whispered confessions, and every doorway leads to desire. It’s transportative, intoxicating, and unlike anything else in Sydney right now. Prepare to check in.”
More than a show, L’Hôtel is a feast for the senses. If you choose to level up to the VIP experience, the night begins with a chilled glass of French Champagne, paired with a curated cheese board featuring the finest French selections. As the drama unfolds, guests will savour delicate éclairs and enjoy dedicated table service – fully immersing them in the seductive world of L’Hôtel from the best seats in the house.
You’re in for a night that you won’t soon forget – but be warned, once you check in, you may never want to leave.
