Gold Coast Jazz & Blues Club: Marissa Burgess - Bastille Day Celebration

It is Bastille Day and time to celebrate all things “French”. Our French celebration will feature Marissa Burgess who will transform you to Paris by Night - it's legendary charm and its ladies of the night; the Bombastic kick line of the Can Can and coquetry with costumes made in France and performed by French dancers. 

Marissa Burgess is an internationally renowned singer, dancer and producer with a long list of credits to her name. Marissa performed in a starring role at the Moulin Rouge in Paris for 17 years, earning her many accolades as a dancer with a natural stage presence. Marissa sings, dances, and moves with a grace which one would expect of a classically trained artist. She glides and moves about the stage with ease, taking the audience with her as she leads them down the path of a story told in song. 

Marissa will be joined by her band led by Les Woodford performing songs from French artists including Edith Piaf, Charles Aznavour, Serge Gainsbourg, Sacha Distel, and Eartha Kitt. Along with guest artist singer Romony Rogers, Marissa and her dancing girls will bring the glitz and glamour of a Parisian revue; jewel adorned showgirls; feathers galore and the Can Can.

Marissa says “It’s been a delight preparing this show for Bastille Day, digging deep into French National Pride with Francophile co-Star Romony! We’re very proud of this Bastille Day celebration and I know us two Aussies will do the French proud!”
