Put yourself in my place: 100% Kylie hits Crown

It might be a while before Kylie Minogue is back playing live shows, so in the meantime the next best thing is coming to town.  

Tribute act 100% Kylie is playing Crown Theatre on Saturday June 10th and we had a quick chat with Lucy Holmes the singer who dons the famous hot pants.

For 15 years Lucy has toured the world and entertained audiences with her faithful recreations of Kylie’s show, her performances have even got the tick of approval from Kylie herself.

“She actually sent a film crew to film our show for her.” Lucy said, noting that ever since then Minogue has been one of the shows biggest supporters often tweeting about the tribute show and sending messages of support.

Lucy said there was a special mix of ingredients needed to successfully emulate the singer.  

“It’s a combination of having the right amount of glitter, the right amount of feathers and the right mix of being sweet and a little bit coy. It’s a lot of fun” Lucy said.

Recreating all of Kylie’s famous costumes is one of Lucy’s favourite part of the production process, and she admits when she sees the singer debut a new number on tour she’s eye-balling the outfits.

“I love it when she does a new tour and we get to see the new costumes, my favourite part of the experience is dressing up.”

“Its great to see what the audience loves, especially during the show, and then after the show you see what people post…and you can pretty much work out what the greatest moment of the show was, and that’s what we aim to recreate.” Lucy said.   

When it comes to choosing a favourite Kylie tune to perform Lucy nominates Better the Devil the Know. During the show the team perform the tune as Kylie did on her Aphrodite tour turning it into a big Brazilian samba.   

100% Kylie’s Greatest Hits tour is at Crown Theatre on Saturday June 10th.
