Claire's Rising Stars présents GIANNA CHEUNG AND VINCENT HUYNH

3 courses from our new a la carte menu and 2 live set $125 p/p

What You Don’t Know…

Everyone has a version of themselves they let the world see - and another they keep tucked away. In What You Don’t Know…, Gianna and Vincent pull back the curtain on their unlikely friendship, revealing how much more there is beneath the surface.

Once in the same boat, their paths drifted apart - one caught a lucky wind, while the other was left rowing against the current. Both want to be supportive, both are hiding how they really feel, and neither wants to be the villain in the other’s story. Equal parts heart, humour and harmony, this two-act cabaret explores ambition, envy, and what it really means to be seen.
