Music of the night(club): my enchanted evening at the party that plays only show tunes

Based on your response to that paragraph, you’ll already know if a musical theatre nightclub sounds like a dream or your nightmare. But those who get it, get it. And if you love a show tune, the new pop-up party Club Broadway – at which DJ and queer party promoter Dan Murphy plays only show tunes, all night – is for you.

The night – which coming to Melbourne on 11 June, before a Sydney showing in July – is certainly for me. I’ve beenfor more than a decade. I’ve paid my respects at both Marie’s Crisis and Ellen’s Stardust Diner, two New York City show tune singalong venues. I know which of my friends prefers to take the Marius role when Les Mis act-one closer One Day More comes up on shuffle.

Many musicals don’t ever make it down under, or run once and never return; they end up existing solely as memories or as cast recordings.Enter: Club Broadway, which was held for only the second time on Friday night at the Imperial Erskineville in Sydney’s inner west.
