ARTIST IN RESIDENCE. June, 2019. As part of the Melbourne Cabaret Festival Alexis Fishman is Amy Winehouse in her performance of Amy Winehouse Resurrected. See her from 26 – 27 June 2019 at Chapel Off Chapel.
Amy Winehouse has been resurrected, revived and reimagined in this brand new, hilarious and uplifting show starring world-renowned actor and singer, Alexis Fishman, direct from New York.
After the news arrives that her idol Tony Bennett would give anything to record with her again, Amy Winehouse finds her way back from wherever it is she went after her untimely death in 2011. She’s ripe for a comeback, even if it’s from the dead.
Expect the beehive, the foul-mouth and all of Amy’s hits, including some you may never have heard before.

Homage to someone who died so recently is testimony indeed to the impact of Amy Winehouse. New York actor and singer Alexis Fishman brings Amy Winehouse: Resurrected to this year’s festival in what is clearly so much more than just another a tribute act. With haunting and effortless vocals, this take on what Amy might currently be thinking is a clever and hilarious basis to ponder the loss of a huge talent.
