Under the full moon of August 12th 2022, THE RAPTURE debuted at The Rogue Scholar, Newcastle, to a scorching hot sellout success. The second coming of THE RAPTURE took place on December 9th, where over $700 was raised for Share The Dignity's #itsinthebag campaign. 2023 kicked off with a very special 'Queer Rebirth' edition to celebrate Sydney World Pride, and over $500 was raised for The Gender Centre throughout the night. The June 2023 edition saw another spiritual evening and generous fundraising support for What Were You Wearing. After consecutive sold out shows since its inception, THE RAPTURE descended upon Sydney in September at legendary cabaret hub, The Vanguard, for a sellout evening in the 2023 Sydney Fringe Festival season. The sensual supernatural Halloween special edition saw a magical night of tricks and treats, where generous donations flew thick and fast for ACON Health NSW.
