Karangahape Road’s brightest stars are hitting the stage in a once-in-a-generation celebration. Caluzzi Cabaret, Australasia’s longest-running drag cabaret, marks its 30th anniversary with a dazzling new showcase created exclusively for the Auckland Live Cabaret Festival.
Fronted by internationally loved queens, Caluzzi owners and TV personalities Kita Mean and Anita Wigl’it (Drag Wars, House of Drag, RuPaul’s Drag Race Down Under), the show explodes with high-camp glamour, whip-smart comedy and jaw-dropping production numbers that capture the heart and legacy of NZ’s iconic Caluzzi Cabaret.
Plus, legendary cast member Ling Ling and her girls join the celebrations adorned in feathers, rhinestones and mischief.
This is Caluzzi - bigger, bolder and more fabulous than ever.
Happy Birthday Caluzzi - let us eat cake!
Proudly part of the Auckland Council whānau
