Vogue is one of two new productions currently on offer at North Melbourne cabaret venue Viva, This cabaret meets cirque performance blends high fashion, fierce choreography, and jaw-dropping acrobatics in a show that’s as glamorous as it is bold, and also just a bit cheeky.
Viva has rapidly become North Melbourne’s nightlife standout, drawing comparisons to Berlin’s underground clubs and New York’s avant-garde scene.
At its heart, Vogue is a stylish explosion of faux couture, wit and energy. The performers glide across the stage with effortless swagger, shifting from sleek dancers to gravity-defying cirque acts in a heartbeat. And while it ventures into some lame jokes from time to time it never feels kitsch – there’s an intoxicating modern vibe underpinning every move.
The venue itself amplifies the magic. Hidden up a nondescript North Melbourne laneway, Viva exists in a renovated old warehouse that opens onto a plush, dimly lit cabaret space with red velvet seating and art deco flair that feels both decadent and intimate.
Ultimately, Vogue is unapologetic entertainment taken to thrilling extremes. It’s sharp, stylish and expertly staged – a perfect night out that blends fashion, flair and a touch of fantasy. Whether you’re in it for the visuals, the laughs, or just a killer night out with friends, Vogue delivers.
The show runs Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays and bookings can be made here.
