Khaki Kapers

Last updated

Khaki Kapers is a 1943 Australian stage revue. [1]

The 1943 production in Hobart featured RAAF airman Don Sharp who appeared in the sketch "An Airman's Letter" which featured a flag that flew over the Australian base in Singapore which had been returned by Sharp. [2] [3] [4]

The Hobart Mercury reported "There is not a dull moment in the show, which combines action with beautiful scenes, and elaborate costuming. The cast would do credit to any Mainland production." [5] The show was called "the most successful musiëal revue presented in Hobart for several years." [6]

The same title was used for a 1941 revue performed in Port Moresby. [7]

There was a revival in 1952. [8]
