LASSÙ, an adults-only circus-cabaret show blending burlesque, dance, and traditional circus, is now touring Queensland with a stop in North Lakes.
Cosmic Cabaret Experience Lands in Queensland
North Lakes has been confirmed as one of the Queensland stops for LASSÙ, an adults-only cabaret show created by Ashton Legacy Productions. The show will run from 20 June to 6 July at Prospect Street, North Lakes. Featuring a cosmic saloon theme with space cowboys, alien drifters, and circus performers, LASSÙ combines modern choreography with traditional circus arts in an immersive production aimed at adult audiences.
The production is led by Merrik Ashton, a seventh-generation performer with nearly 30 years in the circus industry. Mr Ashton has taken LASSÙ to cities including Mackay, Townsville and the Sunshine Coast, with North Lakes added to the east coast tour.
Behind the Production
LASSÙ presents a narrative-driven show set on the edge of the galaxy. Audiences follow the story of Rodeo Clown Rusty as he attempts to restore the golden age of the saloon. The performance includes risqué acts, fire effects, and strobe lighting, making it strictly for audiences aged 18 and over.
The creative direction of the show is helmed by Mitchell Woodcock, a Helpmann Award-winning choreographer whose credits span work with national and international artists as well as productions such as The Voice and Australian Idol.
Seating and Ticketing
Tickets are priced between $73 and $155, with several seating categories available. General admission starts at $88.71, while premium options such as Cabaret Tables—priced at $155.01 per person—offer bottle service and front-row proximity to the stage.
Other options include booth seating for groups, second-row ringside at $114.20, and front-row ringside at $134.61. A complimentary Companion Card option is also available, requiring presentation at entry alongside a valid paid ticket.
Performer Origins and Artistic Intent
Mr Ashton, who debuted in circus performance at age two, formed Ashton Legacy Productions with the aim of blending spectacle with intimate storytelling. LASSÙ reflects this goal by combining traditional showmanship with modern visual storytelling, aiming to give audiences close-range access to every detail of the performance.
Each performance is staged under a purpose-built big top designed to immerse viewers in a setting where live music, circus stunts and burlesque blend into a single visual experience.
Next Steps for the Tour
With North Lakes now included in the itinerary, the production continues its Queensland run through regional and metropolitan locations. Mr Ashton has described the show as a high-energy production that pushes boundaries in live entertainment, supported by a strong visual and performance framework.
Seating options and show details for LASSÙ’s Queensland tour, including North Lakes, are available through official ticketing outlets.
