Sarah entered the stage to the theme tune from the 1970’s TV show Wonder Woman, dressed in a Wonder Woman costume. Well a variation of the costume. In place of the form-fitting leotard was a blue netball skirt resplendent with silver cardboard stars pinned randomly across the front, a red singlet over which was a red sequined bikini top stuffed with tissues, and a gold cardboard tiara. The costume and the short lived Wonder Woman persona was never explained.
Sarah is the principal dancer and teacher with Melbourne company, Dance Sister. She incorporates her dance style – well an alcohol affected variation of her dance style – in the show that is also dotted with drunken raps.
My enjoyment of the show was not improved by having vodka spit/sprayed over me from the stage or being pelted by marshmallows. The later having the unfortunate affect of providing the audience with missiles. Having been pelted by the confectionary, the audience obliged in practicing their baseball-style pitching techniques by fast-balling them back the stage. Curiously Sarah continued to exchange fire creating a food-fight that, dangerously for Sarah, could have continued throughout the remainder of the show.
I am clearly not in the intended demographic for this show. Although I enjoy an alcoholic beverage or three, I have never enjoyed people who become loud, obnoxious and crass when drunk.
Unfortunately for me, this is exactly what I can drink puddles is about, with Sarah D spending an hour reliving her most drunken moments. It was uncomfortable.
