Sharron Matthews is getting ready to take over the world CABARET STYLE! Well-known in Canada as one of the country's greatest Cabaret artists, Sharron has been wowing Toronto audiences with her unique Cabaret evenings and amazing vocal styling for years, and now she is getting ready to take her show on the road with her World Domination Tour.
When Sharron decided that she wanted to take her show on the road, she applied for multiple government grants only to get denied funding because her show was deemed too commercial and too "cabaret." Instead of giving up, she has decided to try and do it on her own, which is why she needs help raising money! The best thing about the fundraising events is that they promise to be a fun and exciting night out for everyone involved!
Sharron is about to depart Canada for her first ever Cabaret in NYC at the infamous Joe's Pub. New York Magazine has raved that "you never know what you'll find next at Joe's Pub, but you can count on the fact that it will be very very good." Sharron had lots of support from Broadway veterans such as Sutton Foster and Louise Pitre in securing the gig at Joe's Pub, which promises to be a treat for all those in the NYC area. After that, she heads to the world's LARGEST arts festival The Edinburgh Festival in Scotland from August 16th to the 28th.
The goal of these events is not simply to promote Sharron's show, but also to promote awareness of Canadian artists in the worldwide theatre community and to expose young Canadian talent to the possibilities that are out there for them. Ultimately, Sharron would love to have her show picked up through one of these events, but they will also serve to do so much more in that they will showcase and highlight some of the amazing talent Canada has to offer.
The Toronto fundraiser is going to feature seven up and comers to the Canadian Cabaret scene, as well as music by Nirvana, Kiss, Britney Spears, Rod Stewart, Donna Summer and many more. In addition, there will be a silent auction, 50/50 draw, t-shirts and swag!
Come on out and join Sharron's Army! Anyone who helps support her cause becomes a part of her Army, as this truly is going to be a group effort for the many people who have supported Sharron over the years and the many new fans she is bound to pick up along the way!
