In The Cabaret Room tonight, Ilana Charnelle talks about her cabaret and album of the same name, Play Nice.  The show debuted in Adelaide last November and after a wonderful response, it is now playing as part of the Melbourne Cabaret Festival Fringe.  Play Nice is a show about taking the gloves off, getting the claws out and talking about the things that piss you off.  The show was co-written with Ned Dickson and includes a compilation of original songs, two of them being performed by Ilana in-studio during the Cabaret Room – Temptress and Keep It Up.
