Burlesque meets bubblegum pop in Taste, a sparkling, rhinestone-studded tribute to the reigning pop princess herself: Sabrina Carpenter. The show, which opens the 2025 Cabaret Fringe Festival, is an ambitious homage to a pop artist known for walking the line between sweetness and bite - and Taste mirrors that balance beautifully.
