Alice in Wonderland - A Charity Cabaret

The singing flowers
This afternoon we attended Alice in Wonderland - a charity cabaret for kids at the Sheraton Hotel. A fantastic event, organised by a group of long-term Saigon expats, to raise money for various charities.

Today's kid-styled event followed on from the adults only cabaret show held at the Sheraton last night. A night, I am told by one of the organisers, that was filled with fun, debauchery and far too much alcohol! But hey, when it's for a good cause who cares?

Last night was a sell out, as was today's event - which included a dance class so the kids could learn some of the show's less raunchy moves followed by a condensed, kid friendly version of the cabaret (3 acts) and a dance party.

And as a unique twist on today's event, for every child ticket sold (adults were free) the organisers invited a child from a local orphanage.

I'm told this will be an annual event. Keep posted at www.thecharitycabaret.com

Georgia and Mackenzie loved the show!
