Part of New York City's neoburlesque scene, the bawdy Wau Wau Sisters perform at the Maui Arts & Cultural Center's McCoy Studio Theater in Kahului at 7:30 p.m. tomorrow. The high-heeled sisters (who appeared in John Cameron Mitchell's controversial film "Shortbus") sing risque ditties and sling double entendres � and also perform irreverent circus routines. The New York Times called the duo "irreverent, sacrilegious, foul-mouthed and uninhibited." And they like their audience uninhibited, too � there are audience-participation costume changes. The show is part of Nora Burns' Coconut Cabaret series. A portion of the proceeds benefits Maui AIDS Foundation. Tickets: $20, available at the box office or by calling 808-242-7469.

FINAL WORD

"I'm acutely aware that money can change you, and I don't want to change. I don't want new friends. I've got wicked friends. I don't want to go through that process of becoming a rock star and then going, 'I actually don't have much now apart from money.' But it's a nice problem to have."

� KT Tunstall, Scottish singer-songwriter, in Entertainment Weekly. Her new CD is "Drastic Fantastic."
