IF you are wondering where you sit in Sydney’s social structure, an opening night performance can help.
An A-list crowd packed the Capitol Theatre on Wednesday night to take in Kinky Boots and chance a close encounter with the show’s composer Cyndi Lauper.
Proximity to Lauper, in seat D17, was the measure of status on the night and none was higher in the pecking order than the Prime Minister’s wife Lucy Turnbull and daughter Daisy, seated next to Lauper, nine rows from the stage.
Others within close range in the premium seats included arts patron Ros Packer, freshly returned from “the country”. She was joined by her galpal/walker Vicky Jones and seated in front of Turnbull in Row C. Richard Wilkins and his on-theme androgynous son Christian and Kerri-Anne Kennerley, in jodhpurs, were also in the vicinity.
Slightly outside the hot spot were TV hosts David Koch and David Campbell, singer Dami Im, stage stars Lorraine Bayly and Todd McKenney, Erika Heynatz and actor Danielle Cormack.
One said to look unimpressed (later denied) with his upstairs dress circle seat was former politician David Oldfield. Oldfield had wife, Lisa, a Real Housewife Of Sydney, to thank for his ticket, though Mrs Oldfield made a premature exit mid second act due to a recurring neck injury.
In her absence her husband, surrounded by fellow high-profile dress circle occupants including
other Real Housewives Of Sydney
Athena X and Melissa Tkautz, proved the Oldfields are more open-minded than one might imagine a former One Nation party founder to be.
In fact just weeks after revealing he hadn’t had sex with his wife in a year, a by then dateless Oldfield raised eyebrows at the after-party kicking on with 2m-tall drag artist Penny Tration.
