Musical Theatre Performance

Rodgers & Hammerstein’s fifth musical, ‘The King and I’, based on the novel Anna and the King of Siam, was first performed in 1951. After a movie and countless revivals, ‘The King and I’ remains an audience favourite.

Colourful costumes and classic songs such as “Getting to Know You”, “We Kiss in a Shadow” and “Hello Young Lovers’ are highlights in this epic story of a British school teacher and her complex relationship with the King of Siam.

Event Details

Presented by Brisbane Arts Theatre
Musical Theatre Performance

Lovingly ripped off from the classic 1975 film, ‘Monty Python and the Holy Grail’, ‘Spamalot‘ is a fun-filled, irreverent parody that has audiences roaring in the aisles around the world.

Featuring showgirls, cows, killer rabbits and French people, this is the legend of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table told in the only way the team behind Monty Python know how. King Arthur and his knights are on a divine mission to locate the elusive Holy Grail, with uproarious consequences.

Winner of the 2005 Tony Award for Best Musical, ‘Spamalot’ was written by Python legend Eric Idle, with a fantastic score co-written by John DuPrez, including ‘Always Look on the Bright Side of Life’.

Circus Art Performance

‘Air Play’ is a visual poem, using no words. It lives on the edge of definition: part comedy, part sculpture, part circus, part theatre. To audiences around the world the wonder and discovery of Air Play are bold reminders of childhood and growing up.

Written and created by circus performers Seth Bloom and Christina Gelsone in collaboration with renowned air sculptor Daniel Wurtzel, ‘Air Play’ was devised through years of experimentation with simple materials, movement, and technology.

There is nothing quite like seeing this production come alive on stage. ‘Air Play’ has played around the globe, from the southernmost opera house in the world, Teatro del Lago in Chile, to London’s Royal Festival Hall, to Arts Centre Melbourne, and Shanghai’s Grand Theatre.

Puppetry Theatre Performance

Local hero ‘Laser Beak Man’ works hard to keep it that way. Drawing energy from the underground Magna Crystals that power the City his beak has the ability to shoot lasers that turn bad to good.

Robbed of his superpowers, ‘Laser Beak Man’ must find a way to stop his oldest nemesis from destroying Power City. In a story jam-packed with the trademark humour and visual puns that come from his literal interpretation of language, ‘Laser Beak Man’ is a new visual theatre work under development by the Dead Puppet Society and Tim Sharp that explodes with colour and energy.
