These two darlings are the epitome of all that is offensive with the society set. Preened, primped, cut and set, the pair meets at one of the in places in order to see and be seen. While they keep an eye out for their well-heeled colleagues and guzzle down champagne, we are privileged to have an insight to our high society pages and ladies of the high-class set. The correct social functions, birthdays, opening nights at the Opera and the Ballet can prove to be hell. One must make sure the correct attire is worn in hats, gloves, shoes, jewelry, and shawls to mix and match.
 
Champagne Ladies was first performed at the Workhouse Theatre, Melbourne, on 17 June 1998, with the following cast: 
NARELLE       …..       Miranda King 
DARLENE       ….       Elizabeth Penny 
WAITER          ….       Tim Constantine 
 
Two society ladies sit down to a glass of champagne, after coming out from witnessing the worst performance of a well-known stage musical. Narelle purchased the tickets for both of them. Both try to hide their disappointment regarding the quality of the show.
