The Melissa Western Trio

Tuesday 01 April 2025 | 07:00 PM

Over the past twenty years Melissa has delivered critically acclaimed performances to audiences locally in Brisbane, nationally throughout Australia and internationally in the UK and France.

Her self-penned one-woman musical Ella, Marilyn, Marlene and Me was an official sell-out for two consecutive years at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. In 2013, Melissa’s new original comedy-cabaret entitled Sweet, Sour and Saucy received critical and audience acclaim. The show went on to be nominated for three Matilda Awards in 2015 for Best Musical/Cabaret, Best Female Actor in a Leading Role and Best Set Design, as well as Western being named Favourite Leading Female Performance in the 2015 Del Arte Charts. Sweet, Sour & Saucy has toured Queensland, Western Australia and the UK.

Melissa has appeared with the iconic Women in Voice on numerous occasions, and has created countless cabarets including Push It! Songs about getting pregnant, giving birth and having kids and Oh Lady Be Good: A tribute to the great chanteuses of the 20th century.

Her passion is taking to the stage in front of a live audience, seamlessly weaving song, movement and story into an experience they will want to share and cherish.

Doors open at 6pm, concert commences at 7pm. Bar and bistro available.
