SWING ON THIS

SUAVE, SLICK AND OH-SO-SWOON-WORTHY

Australia’s kings of swing return to Adelaide Cabaret Festival in a spectacular celebration of their ten year anniversary. Founded by Australian theatre legend Michael Falzon, Swing on This made their debut at Adelaide Cabaret Festival in 2014 opening the festival with their unique blend of wit and expert musicianship.

Leading men of stage and screen Luke Kennedy (The Voice Australia, The TEN Tenors), Matt Lee (Frozen, Mary Poppins) and Ben Mingay (Sweeney Todd, Shrek) welcome new member Bert La Bonté (Moulin Rouge, The Book of Mormon) in their first full-length show since 2019.

Swing on This deliver a modern and audacious take on all-time swing classics from Sinatra and Bublé, to rock and pop hits from Farnham, INXS and The Proclaimers. They have amazed and impressed time and time again with their astonishing voices, razor-sharp wit and all-Australian charm.

Packed full of swinging classics, new takes on old favourites and irreverent comedy, the tenth anniversary celebration of Swing on This is snappy, sexy, and a bloody great night out.

  • “a triumph… they’re chatty, relaxed and informal, and their glorious voices put 500 people at their ease for over an hour and then on their feet at the end.”

    Glam Adelaide

  • "Swing On This really is the complete package and never stops giving throughout the entire seventy minutes. the irrepressible energy, humour, and sass from Mingay, Lee, Kennedy and LaBonté never disappointed."

    Theatre Travels

  • "Swing On This is a must-see for fans of crooner classics and lovers of live entertainment alike. Mingay, Kennedy, La Bonte, and Lee deliver a performance that is as timeless as the music they celebrate."
