Britain’s favorite purveyors of the gloriously obscene, The Tiger
Lillies create dark, gleefully twisted cabaret that leaves audiences
squirming in their seats. Led by the bizarre and beautiful falsetto of
Martyn Jacques, this three-piece band became an international sensation
after their 1998 “junk opera” Shockheaded Peter, a deliciously macabre
children’s fairytale demonstrating the disastrous consequences of
misbehavior. Following their 2003 Grammy-nominated collaboration with
the Kronos Quartet inspired by the lyrics and illustrations of
iconoclastic artist Edward Gorey, The Tiger Lillies return to Royce
Hall with their eccentric and perverted mix of Brechtian drama, black
comedy and all-around blasphemy.
