Panthers’ own pages give a pair of times for most shows, such as 7:30pm and 8:00pm. Only the SWEET page says what each time means: doors at 7:30pm, then the support act and the main set. The other pages do not explain the two times.
What is Sir El Tom?
Sir El Tom is a UK Elton John tribute act. Panthers says Tom Cridland plays Elton John’s best loved hits, album tracks and fan favourites, including Rocket Man, Tiny Dancer, Your Song, I’m Still Standing, Crocodile Rock and Bennie and the Jets. The club says he learnt the piano during the Covid-19 lockdowns and has worked in the studio with The Stylistics, Shania Twain and Ronnie Wood. The show is on Wednesday 11 November, and the club’s page offers a 30% discount: go to the Sir El Tom Ticketek booking page, type SIRELTOM into the box that says “If you have a password please enter it here”, press “Unlock tickets” and then choose your tickets. Panthers says to enter the code before you select tickets.
What is The Italian Divorce?
The Italian Divorce is a comedy play about Italian-Australian family life, written, directed and starring Frank Lotito, on Friday 13 November. The cast named on the Visit Penrith page also includes Rosanna Morales, Davide Mollica, Louisa Mignone, Jeanette Coppolino and Steve Mouzakis. Panthers describes the central character Lucia as a formidable matriarch played by Rosanna Morales, with Lotito playing Bruno and Steve Mouzakis playing the neighbour Dimitri.
What is on for SWEET and Bingo Loco?
SWEET, led by guitarist Andy Scott, plays The Final Blitz Tour of Australia, with a greatest hits set including Ballroom Blitz, Fox on the Run, Love Is Like Oxygen, Wig Wam Bam and Blockbuster. Panthers says the band has sold 55 million records worldwide and had 13 Top 50 Australian singles, including two number ones. The Visit Penrith listing says the show is selling fast.
Bingo Loco, the next night, is a bingo rave with comedian MCs, throwback anthems, lip-sync battles, dance-offs, confetti showers and CO2 cannons. Panthers says previous prizes have included a cruise package, a giant inflatable flamingo, a fridge, a piano, a microwave, a lawnmower and a trip to Las Vegas. Panthers lists the start at 5pm with the show at 6pm.
What about The Hindley Street Country Club, Fischer-Z and The Killer Queen Experience?
The Hindley Street Country Club, which Panthers calls Australia’s own global online sensation, plays the biggest songs of the 1970s and 1980s on Friday 27 November, its Panthers debut. Panthers says the band has more than a billion views across platforms and describes it as “The World’s Best Cover Band”.
Fischer-Z, on Friday 4 December, are on their first Australian tour for their 50th anniversary, led by founding member John Watts. Panthers says So Long reached number 15 on the Kent Music Report and The Perfect Day was a Top 20 ARIA hit. The Killer Queen Experience, on Friday 11 December, is a two-hour Queen tribute fronted by John Blunt, with songs such as Bohemian Rhapsody, We Will Rock You and We Are the Champions.
How do I get there and where do I park?
None of the event pages gives parking, train or bus advice, and we found no Transport for NSW page for these shows. The club’s FAQ describes a free courtesy bus for ages 18 and over, with a booking line on 02 4720 5539, and gives Friday and Saturday last pick-up or drop-off at 2am and Sunday to Thursday at 8pm. It does not mention these shows, so whether it runs for these shows is not stated. Our New Year’s Eve guide sets out the club’s dress and entry rules, which are in the FAQ for every night. For the club’s phone line, call 1800 061 991.
