Ali McGregor - Fool’s Gold

A decade after her award-winning show Alchemy, Artistic Director Ali McGregor returns to the Festival with her six-piece band.

In this, her golden 50th year, she explores how songs can find new meaning with the passing of time, bringing new arrangements of old favourites as well as drawing from her Yma Sumac show, the opera she recently created with Kate Miller-Heidke and Conor d'Netto, and her famous hybrid renditions of the trashy classics you know and love. Entertainer extraordinaire and queen of quips, don't miss the on-stage icon that is Ali McGregor.
