Sia - The Enmore Theatre


As she slowly began to sweat the black paint off her face, Sia painted the Enmore Theatre with the colours of her music and humour.

In true Sia-style she was dressed in an interestingly-obscure outfit that only she could define. Her performance, quite staggered in nature, saw long breaks in-between each song which she dedicated to audience interaction and gift-sharing. Less heckling from the audience would have probably given room to another song or two (Stop Trying perhaps?).

However, back to back we heard those sugar-high pop tunes from Bring Night, as well as those golden tracks Breathe, Soon We’ll be Found and Buttons. The finale saw a costume change into a bubble-blowing mechanism (amazing!).

The greatest thing about a Sia performance is that it is an incredibly honest show. What you see is what you get.
