Urban Display Suite

GOING, GOING... ALL TICKETS ARE GONE! THIS SHOW IS NOW SOLD OUT!

Showing at the Shirley Burke Theatre in Parkdale

After sell out seasons at fortyfivedownstairs and Adelaide Cabaret Festival, Urban Display Suite is now open for inspection at the Shirley Burke Theatre, in Melbourne’s real estate hotspot, Parkdale.

Armed with a deliciously malicious sense of humour and the ability to turn out a jaunty melody, Michael Dalley is one of Australia’s most awarded cabaret artists. His previous smash-hit shows including Vaudeville X and Intimate Apparel have earned no less than eleven Green Room Award nominations and two statues.

In his latest musical social satire, Urban Display Suite, Michael and his cast stab their acerbic wit into the eye of the great Aussie dream… realty… or was that reality?

Meet the real estate agents: rolling up in their Mercedes SUVs, their UV-whitened smiles and their totally real tandoori tans, they are here to seduce you with the very latest urban lifestyle display suite. But what is really on display here?

With songs like Real Estate – The White Collar Job for the Blue Collar Brain, Million Dollar Sh*tbox and It’s A Terrible School But The Grounds Are Stunning, you know you are in for a night of side-splitting, split-level, soul-searching entertainment.

It’s off-the-plan – and off-the-wall!

“Performed with zest and a fine sense of the ridiculous …Urban Display Suite is a highlight of this year’s cabaret calendar.” The Age

“[Dalley’s] satiric dalliance targets the emergence of a generation of vapid, affected, avaricious Australians, the new nouveau riche.” The Advertiser

“Urban Display Suite provides a delightful virtual tour of modern society, poking fun at real-estate agents, the current economic climate and even the average Joe. [Dalley’s] sharp wit and clever turn of phrase make topics like urban sprawl, medium density living and the inequities of the property boom suddenly seem more interesting.” www.aussietheatre.com.au
