Theatre Performance

‘Pulp’ is “a genre bending literary noir comedy.”

Los Angeles, 1933. PI Frank Ellery doesn’t know it, but he’s taken on the strangest case of his life. A literary agent has been gruesomely murdered. The four suspects: his remaining clients, all writers for different pulp magazines. Frank dives into the mystery, and his world turns upside down as life begins to imitate literature. Science fiction, romance, adventure, horror … and one down-on-his-luck gumshoe who’s about to learn what really lurks between the lines.

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.

Theatre Performance

Fasten your seat belts. You’re in for a bumpy ride!

It’s the 1960s, and swinging bachelor Bernard couldn’t be happier: a flat in Paris and three gorgeous air hostesses all engaged to him without knowing about each other. It is all a question of timetables and a reliable maid who never forgets to change the photos in the bedroom. However, Bernard’s perfect life is thrown into turmoil when a new and speedier Boeing jet and changed flight schedules could mean the end to his elaborate charade. His friend, Robert, comes to stay and becomes embroiled in the chaos when all three fiancées arrive in town simultaneously and Bernard enlists his help.

‘Boeing Boeing’ is riotous farce recently enjoying hit revivals in London and New York.

Presented by Beenleigh Theatre Group
Musical Theatre Performance

At the height of the Great Depression, Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow went from two small-town nobodies in West Texas to America’s most renowned folk heroes and Texas law enforcement’s worst nightmares. Fearless, shameless and alluring, the Tony-nominated ‘Bonnie & Clyde’, from the legendary Frank Wildhorn (Jekyll & Hyde, Civil War, Dracula) is the electrifying story of love, adventure and crime that captured the attention of an entire country.

When Bonnie and Clyde meet, their mutual cravings for excitement and fame immediately set them on a mission to chase their dreams. Their bold and reckless behaviour turns the young lovers’ thrilling adventure into a downward spiral, putting themselves and their loved ones in trouble with the law. Forced to stay on the run, the lovers resort to robbery and murder to survive. As the infamous duo’s fame grows bigger, their inevitable end draws nearer.

‘Bonnie & Clyde’ is a thrilling and sexy musical with a non-traditional score, combining blues, gospel and rockabilly music.

Theatre Performance
Part of Wonderland Festival at Brisbane Powerhouse

It’s Christmas Eve and all New York cop John McClane wants to do is patch things up with his high-powered corporate wife, Holly. Little do they know smooth-talking Hans Gruber and his cabal of Eurotrash terrorists are on their way to hijack celebrations at LA’s Nakatomi Plaza.

With only a gun, a white singlet and the Dad from TV sitcom ‘Family Matters’, John McClane must use his wits to survive (and deliver some pithy one-liners). Full of bare-footed action, danger and their trademark low-fi special effects, this new comedy from the team that brought you ‘Speed: The Movie, The Play’ and ‘Titanic: The Movie, The Play’ will have you screaming “yippee-ki-yay“. Act/React is proud to present ‘Die Hard: The Movie, The Play’.

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’.
