Here is a bit about the ball as shared by their website:
Now in its 5th year, The Gangsters’ Ball is coming back to Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane this September. We are also extremely excited to announce that the Gangsters’ Ball is going global with planning well underway for shows in Europe, Asia and America, including Casino shows in Las Vegas and Atlantic City. All details to be revealed very soon…
So what exactly is the Gangsters’ Ball? Well for starters it is not a sit-down theatre show. It is a faithful recreation of a 1930’s Speakeasy Club, so you can walk around the entire venue, dance, gamble, get your hair & makeup done at the styling parlour, have your portrait taken at the photo booth, grab a cocktail or two and mingle with your friends. We encourage attendees to partake in every aspect of the show and experience all the fun and mayhem of 1930’s & 40’s entertainment and culture.
The Gangsters’ Ball is 4hrs of interactive and non-stop entertainment where the audience is as much a part of the show as the performers. Featuring the biggest names in Cabaret, Sideshow Vaudeville, Burlesque, Magic, Illusion and Big Band Swing, it is an event like no other. Every show also features one of Australia’s best Swing Bands, Swing/Rock ‘n’ Roll DJ’s, The Gambling Den – with Poker, Roulette and Black Jack tables, Swing and Rock ‘n’ Roll dancing contests, Pin-up models, merchandise stalls, cocktail bar, vintage styling parlour, photo booth and fantastic prizes for the best dancers and lucky door!
Each year more than 3,000 Mobsters, Molls and Flappers step back in time to a bygone era. An era when men wore three-piece suits, fedora hats and silk ties, women wore feathers, furs and pill box hats, big bands ruled the airwaves and gangsters ruled the streets.
Dress to Impress: 1920’s – 50’s Gangsters, Flappers, Molls, Burlesque, Vintage Glamour, Dance Hall Swing & Rockabilly.
