Nick Christo - The Fabulous Frances Faye In Australia

The magic and music of an entertainment revolutionary.

Dashing young musical performer Nick Christo pays tribute to a 1960s chapter in the page-turner life of Frances Faye.

Outrageous band leader Frances Faye was certainly without equal. Her outlandish style, cutthroat vocals and quips had seen her rise from mobster gin joints in the 1920s to become the phenomenon of clubs across the United States in the early ’60s.

Dressed in a tuxedo, Christo re-creates, without imitating, the essence of Frances Faye, her taboo-incinerating relationship with Australian audiences, and her unmistakable stamp of influence on performers like Bette Midler and Peter Allen.
