Get ready to have your senses tickled, tittilated and tantalized with the musical stylings of Lola; an eccentric diva on a quest to find fame, fortune and a role that doesn’t require her to play a prostitute, gaatjie or domestic worker whilst keeping her front teeth.

This clora gertie has a new agenda, so get ready Cape Town...


Media & Reviews

"From the moment Bianca gets onto stage to her final pose as the lights went down there was a permanent grin on my face. The only time that changed was when I cackled with laughter, which was actually, quite a lot."

Review of An Evening with Lola by Megan Furniss

Audience Responses

Great execution of cabaret mixing original and popular song by Bianca Flanders. Excellent synergy with pianist providing strong support with quirky persona. Bianca is a consummate performer, the one hour performance went by in a flash.

I enjoyed this cabaret - so good to see Bianca Flanders do a show like this. In fine vocal form. I think it will develop, I hope it does. Maybe story line could be tweaked. Publicity calls Lola "an eccentric diva". Not so much; felt often we were hearing Bianca not Lola. Audience clearly related to stories of get-togethers! The "covers" blended well with some really good originals. Who wrote the music? Who was the pianist? (Did I miss something?) Some nice interplay between her and "Lola", although not all of it worked. (The opening business of pianist being "surprised" by audience; self-consciousness etc a bit old hat. ) Overall, as a first performance, very impressive, and, as I say, I see it developing. Thanks!

was very relaxing and relevant. We have two cappuccino daughters - one a Boss model and the other working for a modelling agency, when will the show be repeated because we will insist that they see it. Lola was great and has a voice that she should go much further with, we will follow her progress with interest. all round the organisation was very good and contributed to a nice evening - we have been telling our friends about it!

Really loved it! Lola had an amazing voice and having a bar downstairs made it all perfect.

Stunning. Wonderful evening. A show that has finally returned me to pleasant dreams given the nightmares of bears and proposals and hillbillies in the recent past!

An absolute delight. 4* because I wanted it to be longer. Loved, loved, loved it.

Refreshing, exciting, humorous and moving.I would comfortably rate my experience and my money's worth far higher than my experience with The Bear and The Proposal. Lola gave me the opportunity to dream again finally overcoming my nightmares of bears, hillbillies and white high back benches. Loved every minute. Can I book for April? A superb show. Congrats again Alexander Bar. 5stars.
