Tuesday 24 May 2022 10:28 AM Christie Whelan Browne spruiks 'exposé' of theatre stars after Craig McLachlan ... trends now
One of the women at the centre of Craig McLachlan's withdrawn defamation case has announced a four-night 'behind the curtain' exposé of 'deluded' theatre performers.
Christie Whelan Browne spruiked a brief run of Show People, a 'biting showbiz exposé', on her social media channels.
It will run at Melbourne's Chapel off Chapel from June 15 to June 18, an unusually short run.
She touted the 'darkly hilarious' show, while the venue's website promised Ms Whelan Browne would tackle 'a range of hysterical, deluded, funny and tormented performers'.

McLachlan was intending to sue the ABC, Sydney Morning Herald and actor Ms Whelan Browne over claims he'd touched, kissed and groped actresses without permission
While it is unlikely McLachlan will make it into her show, the timing of the show and the fact it mocks musical theatre performers is an extraordinary coincidence.
The show's promotional video includes several apparent digs at male performers, including one of a man who says he can't wait to 'get f***ing smashed over tacos at Mamacita, probably end up at Love Machine with all the poofs'.

Both are well-known Melbourne venues.
The trailer also shows her impersonating women.
Her Show People announcement came two days before McLachlan dropped his defamation lawsuit because of the 'overwhelming' strain it placed on him and his family.
It is also understood McLachlan, 56, has racked up legal bills of more than $3million from the fight.
