It’s one of the biggest roles in musical theatre and the search is finally over…we have found our Australian Juliet! Lorinda May Merrypor will take on her first starring role when the international smash hit opens exclusively in Melbourne at the Regent Theatre in February!

Proudly supported by the NSW Government’s tourism and major events agency Destination NSW, Carmen on Cockatoo Island is a spectacular harbour event and a once-in-a-lifetime opera experience.

From December to the end of January, Melbourne parents are invited to make a day out of a trip to the city or gardens, and let their kids be swept away by three exciting productions from the Australian Shakespeare Company – Tinkerbell, Wind in the Willows, and Alice in Wonderland. 

‘Clue’ is a perfect night out for all who love a bit of comedy and a murder mystery – but the show must close December 3rd.

A dynamic and darkly comic premiere season, The MILF and Mistress is a rare and compelling theatrical event that centres on the older lesbian experience.

Is there anything more wonderful than catching up on some reading over the festive season? Sure, you could bury yourself in the latest King novel, but how about a Christmas play…

Licencing a play or musical is one of the first steps in producing – and yikes can it get costly! For big-name Broadway musicals, the kitty will need to be in the thousands. Not all titles are like this – in fact, there are some great shows, with familiar names, that you can licence for around $100 per performance.

‘It’s Called Achilles’ was joyous.

The intimacy of the work was its greatest success. Dance, physical theatre and circus often occur at a distance – with an established spatial gap between performers and audience. ‘It’s Called Achilles’ flipped that expectation, with the performer dancing within hands reach – you could see the sweat and exhaustion, you could hear their breath.
