Paul Capsis, the inimitable and incomparable icon of cabaret, returns to fortyfivedownstairs for the Melbourne premiere of Dry My Tears, following an acclaimed run in Sydney. Accompanied by The Song Company’s Francis Greep on grand piano, Capsis will perform an intimate acoustic set of cabaret, jazz, and ragtime classics by Kurt Weill, John Kander, Billy Joel, Elton John, Melody Gardot, Johnny Mercer and more, with influences from Marianne Faithfull, Jimmy Scott, and Nina Simone.

Capsis and Greep selected the program to take the audience on a deeply personal journey. A story of love gained, love lost, and strength found again, told through an uncompromisingly honest and powerful evening of song!

“It was Paul Capsis as Paul Capsis. Raw, vulnerable and honest as he took us on what seemed to be a personal journey of his life through song.” Theatre Travels
