Chris and Arlon return to the cabaret stage with another award-winning contemplative performance featuring original songs alongside timeless covers.

Paris is for lovers. Romance is for dreamers. Blooming in the Springtime. Dancing in the Swingtime! Nikki Nouveau and her dynamic swing band explore the timeless allure of Paris in a compelling musical memoir, bringing to life the bygone era of French jazz and classic show tunes from the 1940s, 50s and 60s.

With her delicate vocals and sultry overtones, Nikki presents an uplifting extravaganza singing a rich repertoire from artists such as Cole Porter, Edith Piaf, Josephine Baker, Charles Trenet, Brigitte Bardot, along with her own original compositions in French and English. Featuring acclaimed Melbourne musicians Mark Fitzgibbon (piano), Nigel MacLean (violin), Jordan Tarento (double bass) and Aaron McCoullough (drums).
