“As exquisite a biography as you’re likely to hear.”
AUSTRALIAN ARTS REVIEW

Australian cabaret chanteuse and musical theatre star, Queenie van de Zandt, renowned for her artful storytelling and raw, emotive vocals, brings to you the songs, stories and art of the musical legend that is Joni Mitchell.

Renaissance woman, painter and poet, Mitchell created a soundtrack for the Woodstock generation.

“Joni is my favourite singer/songwriter and I’ve been wanting to do a show about her and her music for some time,” said Queenie. “She gave a daughter up for adoption early in her career and her music was so influenced by this experience. Having given birth to a daughter myself recently, it felt like a perfect time to explore this mother and daughter relationship and the effect that becoming a parent has on your creativity.”

In BLUE: The Songs of Joni Mitchell, Queenie, along with a live band, explores her love of all things Joni. Through the use of voice overs and intimate storytelling, Queenie takes us on a sonic pictorial of Joni her life, losses and loves, affectionately reinterpreting Joni Mitchell’s melancholy music, and intimately revealing the stories behind some of her most haunting songs such as A Case of You, Both Sides Now and Little Green.

The show has received rave reviews in every venue it's played, consistently performed to standing ovations and sell-out crowds in Australia and the US and has been nominated for The Helpmann Award, The Sydney Theatre Award and won two Broadway Australia Sydney Awards for Best Cabaret and Best Cabaret Performer.

BLUE: THE Songs of Joni Mitchell, is a beguiling night of melancholic songs, poetic storytelling and haunting vocals in a perfect intimate setting.
