The past five years have seen significant and sustained growth in the Australian cabaret sector, as indicated by the continued popularity of the Adelaide Cabaret Festival (where box office figures have increased by 85% between 2009 and 2013), the rapid growth of the Melbourne Cabaret Festival (whose audiences in 2013 were up 375% on the inaugural Festival in 2010), and the establishment of the Hobart Cabaret Festival earlier this year, as part of Tasmania’s Festival of Voices.
