| Danielle O'Malley as Nancy Sinatra at the Cabaret Festival Opening Gala |
It’s 1973 and Nancy Sinatra is filming a new television
special; a night of classic hits and a touch of behind-the-scenes gossip.
After her sell-out showcase of the music of Cilla Black,
Danielle O’Malley dazzles at Chapel Off Chapel with Nancy Sinatra - You Only Live Twice. The audience at home will see
a slick television experience, with all the songs they know and love, but those
of us in the room get something more personal and candid.
There’s a bit of fun talking about her parents, Frank and Nancy,
and her brother Frank Jnr. She takes some pre-arranged audience questions about
her hair style and her personal life. But even as we get to know her and her
distaste for sponsor, RC Cola, what we’re here to hear is the songs.
O’Malley brings the right 60s go-go boot disco energy to Nancy,
entertaining with “Something Stupid” and “Summer Wine”. She turns up the sultry
for “Bang Bang” and Nancy’s Bond theme, “You Only Live Twice”. And we all know
what those boots are made to do and O’Malley doesn’t disappoint there, bringing
the house down with “These Boots are Made for Walkin’”
As with nearly all the shows at the Melbourne Cabaret
Festival, Nancy Sinatra: You Only Live Twice, is a short taster of a season. Two shows only.
Take your boots down
to Chapel Off Chapel tonight. YOLO.
