Pop icon Madonna has her songs, life and career dissected, celebrated and reinvented by cabaret star Michael Griffiths ('Jersey Boys', 'Priscilla', 'We Will Rock You').

Where in between songs, the show delves into the life and times of Madonna. There’s the celebrity spats, passionate romances, acting attempts and artistic endeavours such as the infamous 90s coffee table book — everything gets a mention. In between the nostalgia and glamour, this show demonstrates the determination it takes to be an icon.

'In Vogue: Songs by Madonna' is at the Brisbane Powerhouse from Sept 5-7.
