The Kransky Sisters are an Australian musical comedy trio created and performed by Annie Lee ("Mourne") and Christine Johnston ("Eve") and also, initially, with Michele Watt ("Arva", 2000 to 2006) and later with Carolyn Johns ("Dawn", 2007 to present).
"[3] Leah Mercer of RealTime Arts caught their performance of their Baggage show in November 2005, she described "their earnest delivery and spot-on arrangements mean that the [trio] never descend into cheap parody; they play for laughs but never at their characters' expense.
Full of memorable moments (Talking Heads' "Psycho Killer", complete with yodeling and some wild Salvation Army tambourine moves, tops my list) Baggage unfolds as a series of stories gathered during the Kransky's recent tour of regional Queensland.
Annie Lee and Christine Johnston had separate roles in a comedy, cabaret presentation, Women in Voice (WIV), in September 2007 at Brisbane's Playhouse theatre.
"[4] In June 2013 ,Johnston and two assistants, Peter Nelson and Lisa O'Neill, performed in a side project, RRamp – the Collector, the Archivist & the Electrocrat,[5] at the Adelaide Cabaret Festival.
[6] Mick Searles of AussieTheatre.com described the show, "Johnston sings skewed stories about chickens, tax receipts, scabs, kitchen utensils and her love of collecting and keeping things in jars (including skin from a suntan in 1978) in a wacky musical comedy.
In July 2015, Jack Beeby of Aussie Theatre writes "this beautifully fond and personal tribute to one of the last direct links to Weimar Germany… Lee recounts the details of Bernelle’s extraordinary life".
[citation needed] The Kransky Sisters collaborated with a five-piece classical music ensemble, Topology, in January 2016 to present a combined show which "sees the assembled performers take on scores and songs, including well-known themes from Star Trek, Harry Potter and Downton Abbey.
