Brisbane’s favourite sharp-tongued, pitchfork-wielding socialite Leigh Buchanan returns in his hysterical hit cabaret celebrating the Aussie fashionista and his love of a stellar stiletto.
'The Devil Wears Leigh Buchanan' is a nod to Leigh’s fashion background; chic on the outside with a whole lot of cheeky little devil on the inside. Weaving stories, songs, and scandalous secrets seamlessly (fashion pun intended), in a 60-minute exposé.
Through heart-rending song and catwalk comedy, Buchanan (first runner-up on Australia's 'Project Runway') and his nemeses Barbara Winsor Woo and (YouTube famous) Nanna, translate his rags-to-Swarovski crystal life. These are just 5 of the shoe styles the devil stole from Leigh:
Stiletto
First fetish goes to the stiletto, comfort goes out the window: 'sacrifice everything for a fashion'. The higher the better, in this case there's nothing like a few extra inches!Sandals
You can walk a mile in anyone's Roman or Jesus sandals, any day (with or without bling, preferably with!)Pointy Brogues/ Dress Shoe
In brown leather, the scruffier the better! Like a good wine, I like my brogues aged! Or the classic black patent dress shoe with an extended toe (definitely not square or rounded) and made by Prada (like the Pope's slippers).{youtube}cMHCrWbLvXk{/youtube}
Loafer/ Moccasin
In suede, teamed with a paisley satin, calf length smoking jacket, cigar, cut crystal tumbler of whiskey and Tom Ford's Tobacco Vanille for everyday wear.Flip-Flops
The humble Haviana. These thongs are not to be confused with the lacey variety, and are suitable for wearing to hang out the washing on the clothes line or a (very) casual brunch (at the beach).'The Devil Wears Leigh Buchanan' plays Brisbane Powerhouse, 17 & 18 April.
