He may be outrageous, bizarre, flamboyant, endearing and comedic, but none of these words adequately describe Paul Capsis and his Adelaide Cabaret Festival revue.
Capsis’ voice is putty, moulding from the mellifluous depths to a high, raspy screech. Accompanied by an incongruously conservative (but rocking) four-piece band, Capsis traverses repertoire from Bowie to Winehouse. He does not impersonate any of these artists, but embodies them.
There was very little dialogue, but the audience responded well to Capsis’ cheeky interactions and casual commentary.
Energetically flouncing across the stage, he had the audience clapping and laughing, heads bobbing along to the infectious beat. But no one was quite confident enough to accept the invitation to stand and dance, to which Capsis lamented “you’re so introverted tonight, Adelaide”. Though the audience may have been introverted, they were liberal with applause and ovation.
There is no doubt, Paul Capsis guarantees entertainment.
