SUMMARY:Fledermaus!
DESCRIPTION:Fledermaus! is a story of revenge\, infidelity\, disguises\, and imprisonment decorated by Strauss’s splendid waltzes. With its glorious music\, wonderful singing\, and a charming and witty libretto\, GSOV offers two opportunities to see this joyful work of genius. The first is in the beautiful shady garden setting of The Knowe\, an historic cottage in Sassafras. Tickets are strictly limited and this summer presentation always sells out quickly. The second is the recently refurbished\, The Round Studio. \nA Viennese gentleman\, Gabriel von Eisenstein\, who should be heading to prison for whacking a policeman and calling him a “dummkof”\, ends up going to a grand party at the villa of the Russian Prince Orlovsky! \nHowever\, von Eisenstein has been lured into a trap concocted by Dr Falke\, his once rival for the heart of Rosalinda. Meanwhile\, believing her husband von Eisenstein is imprisoned\, Rosalinda has agreed to Dr Falke’s invitation to attend the same party disguised as an Hungarian Countess! Falke’s aim is simple: revenge and to enjoy von Eisenstein’s embarrassment. \nBut it seems that even further mischief is afoot as Adele\, the von Eisenstein’s maid\, also attends the party in Rosalinda’s best dress! Inevitably\, too much champagne is consumed resulting in a hilarious mixture of disguises and wrongdoings. However\, through the splendid magic of operetta\, all ends happily! \nFledermaus! will be presented in costume with accompaniment from a quartet of players in the delightful garden of the historical The Knowe\, Sassafras\, as well as the Studio at The Round.

SUMMARY:Fresno
DESCRIPTION:Fresno is an exciting\, fresh Australian work written by Josh Connell\, Jeremy Harland and James Greaves. Best described as a ‘Cheers! Musical written in the style of Come From Away’. \nFresno sets itself in a traditional Irish-American bar\, that explores the life of a young bartender named JJ\, and the network of friends\, bar regulars and found family that surround him. \nIt also tackles many issues faced by young people in society today such as: the cost of living crisis; alcoholism; and the affects of gentrification. It is based in Fresno\, California but written with a distinctly Australian humour which undercuts the idealisations of the American Dream and reinforces the Aussie love for an underdog. \nThe music ‘has been written with a classic musical theatre feel\, reminiscent of old school story driver songs rather than the clunky interludes shoehorned in that do little for the narrative’. \nAfter a resounding success for it’s ‘In Concert’ development showing at The Butterfly Club in March 2024\, Fresno is having its official debut at Chapel Off Chapel in February 2025. \nPresented by J.M Harland & J. R Connell

SUMMARY:Peter and The Starcatcher Brisbane
DESCRIPTION:Peter and The Starcatcher Brisbane reveals the UNTOLD STORY OF NEVERLAND. \nThis Broadway sensation\, a New York Times Critic’s Pick and winner of five Tony Awards®\, will enchant Australia in 2024-2025. The production stars Colin Lane (Lano & Woodley)\, Alison Whyte (Frontline)\, Paul Capsis (La Cage Aux Folles)\, Olivia Deeble (Home and Away)\, and Otis Dhanji (Aquaman). \nOriginally developed by Disney Theatrical Group and written by Rick Elice (Jersey Boys).   The play is based on the novel by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson. Furthermore\, it has been reimagined by Dead Puppet Society. Consequently\, this eagerly awaited version of Peter and the Starcatcher blurs the lines between reality and fantasy\, exploring lands filled with curious creatures. \nAs a musical prequel to J.M. Barrie’s beloved classic\, Peter Pan\, Peter and the Starcatcher delves into the backstory of how an orphan boy becomes the iconic Peter Pan. The script is by Rick Elice and music by Wayne Barker.  The production merges imaginative storytelling with whimsical music\, creating a captivating theatrical experience. \nThe narrative follows a young orphan\, simply called Boy.  He meets Molly\, a determined girl on a mission to protect a trunk of magical “starstuff” from the villainous pirate\, Black Stache. Their journey together unfolds themes of friendship\, bravery\, and identity.  The story culminates in Boy’s transformation finally into Peter Pan. \nRenowned for its inventive stagecraft\, the play uses minimalistic props and also the physicality of its actors to bring fantastical elements to life. This innovative approach\, combined with a witty and poignant script\, has made Peter and the Starcatcher a favourite among audiences.  The show has earned multiple Tony Awards and critical acclaim for its creativity and heart. \nPeter and The Starcatcher Brisbane opens 14 March\, 2025. \nTour Dates\nCanberra 15 Oct – 3 Nov\nMelbourne 8-30 Nov\nAdelaide 9 Jan – 25 Jan 2025\nSydney 31 Jan- 16 Feb\nBrisbane 14 Mar- 6 Apr 2025

SUMMARY:The Producers
DESCRIPTION:They picked the wrong play; the wrong director; the wrong cast… Where did they go right?\nBialystock and Bloom! Those names strike terror and hysteria into anyone familiar with Mel Brooks’ classic cult-comedy film\, or the smash-hit\, record-breaking Broadway musical it inspired. Blazing the trail for a new kind of modern\, outrageous\, in-your-face musical comedy\, The Producers won a record 12 Tony Awards. Now\, the show comes to the Hayes in an all-new production! \nThe plot is simple: a down-on-his-luck Broadway producer and a mild-mannered accountant come up with a scheme to produce the most notorious flop in history – thereby swindling their backers (all ‘little old ladies’) out of millions of dollars. Only one thing goes wrong – the show becomes a smash hit. The antics of Max Bialystock and Leo Bloom as they manoeuvre their way fecklessly through finding the ‘perfect’ show (the gloriously offensive Springtime for Hitler)\, hiring the ‘ideal’ director\, raising the money\, and finally getting their comeuppance is a masterclass in comedy construction. And at the core of this insanely funny adventure is the heartfelt emotional journey of two very different people who up-end each other’s lives\, and – against all odds – become friends. \nWith a truly hysterical book by Mel Brooks and Thomas Meehan (Annie)\, and music and lyrics by Brooks himself\, The Producers takes no prisoners in skewering classic Broadway – and creates a new Broadway classic in the process. \nRunning Time\nApprox. 2 hours and 30 minutes – including interval
