Melbourne Fringe: Femme Fatale

The Candy Topps, Stella, Fifi and Kitty, return after an extended absence to pleasure us once more with an evening of “aural and visual fervour” in Femme Fatale.

With honey-sweet harmonies and their own brand of anachronistic musical reinvigoration, The Candy Topps celebrate and honour the long history of powerful women in the canon of contemporary pop music, from Doris Day to Lady Gaga.

Treating us to tales of their own romantic and sexual exploits with respective toy-boys, sugar daddies and devoted husbands, The Candy Topps titillate with a delicious blend of prim eloquence and a raunchy wickedness that would serve to make Mary Poppins blush.
