“Moulin Scrooge” returns to the Seymour Centre

The acclaimed performer, Trevor Ashley, has returned to Australia from London to re-stage the very popular parody, called “Moulin Scrooge”.

Moulin Scrooge is a bawdy, raucous parody of sorts. Apart from being absolutely fabulous (the costumes alone are wonderful, created by Angela White), one of its draw cards is the appearance of Carlotta on stage. This seasoned burlesque performer, now in her 80’s, holds her own on stage. Carlotta wears the title of “Queen of the Cross” and was one of the original “Les Girls”.

I photographed the dress rehearsal last week and I am sharing a few images from the show here. However, I would suggest you buy a ticket and get to experience this totally entertaining extravaganza for yourself. Here’s a link: Moulin Scrooge Tickets

Moulin Scrooge at the Seymour Centre this December

Trevor Ashley is at it again! This Christmas will see Trevor flying high in a raucous parody called “Moulin Scrooge” being performed at the Seymour Centre in December, 2022.

I had the pleasure of working with Trevor again on the photography for the poster work. We hadn’t seen each other for some time so it was great to have him in full make-up and drag, bursting into the studio for the shoot.

We set up a mock trapeze in the centre of the studio as the main prop to recreate the illusion of “Nicole Kidman”. As you can imagine the whole shoot was hilarious. Trevor has a natural capacity to keep you giggling even when you should be concentrating on more serious concerns.
