In the faded glory of Hackney Empire, glittering New York cabaret artist Taylor Mac will shine with a chaotic, sequinned romp through the Great American Songbook.

Taylor Mac is a performance artist who mixes wildly opulent showmanship with deep musical knowledge and more than a dash of irreverent satire. This performance takes the audience through a century of popular songs, in the gilded setting of a music hall whose rafters would have rung to them.

Expect astonishing costume changes, glorious camp and song spun together with a ready bantering wit. Taylor Mac puts a teasing, loving spin on the cheesy classics that have been reimagined by decades of artists - but never with quite as much thrillingly experimental style.
