The Tom Waits Peepshow is Back
I posted on this Tom Waits extravaganza last year. Inside a Broken Clock is a full fledged cabaret based entirely on the music of Tom Waits taking place in the great city of music, Austin, TX. From what I heard, it is a wonderful show that does great honor to Mr. Waits. The organizers do a great job of describing the show in their press release:
A small-scale spectacular featuring dance, puppetry, vaudeville comedy and other weirdness set to the music of Tom Waits, played live by some of Austin’s finest junkyard musicians. Expect to be titillated by Vegas showgirls, a dancing bear, disgruntled gravediggers, a mad scientist and dancing skeleton, German prostitutes, a drunken ringmaster and other ramshackle characters from the big top and back alleys of the Tom Waits universe.
Well, after much public demand, they are bringing the show back for three more nights between October 5th and 7th. There will be two shows a night. The venue hasn’t been nailed down yet, but I’ll post it as soon as I know. Prepare to buy your tickets early, all of the performances last year sold out fast.
Update: The show will be held at the Elks Lodge, 700 Dawson Road, Austin, Texas. Tickets are now on sale.
