SUMMARY:Phar Lap: The Electro-Swing Musical
DESCRIPTION:The musical that stops the nation \nWORLD PREMIERE \nDirected by Sheridan Harbridge \nNot just another absurdist\, electro-swing musical comedy about a thoroughbred racehorse\, Phar Lap is a rags-to-riches story with a big heart.

Suspend your disbelief as an actor swaps his horseshoes for tap shoes to play one of Australia’s most beloved icons. \nWhen an awkward\, gangly horse from New Zealand meets a hapless\, down-on-his-luck\, trainer\, they embark on a classic underdog story to win the Melbourne Cup\, and Australians’ hearts and minds. The road isn’t easy – there are gambling scandals\, double-crosses\, an attempted shooting\, and a career-threatening addiction to sugar. It’s high stakes\, high drama\, and highly historically accurate. \nPhar Lap boasts an irresistible electro-swing score\, with inspirations from Duke Ellington to Daft Punk. Brassy\, lively and retro – these songs will take you from the race course to the rave hall. \nPop the champagne\, harness up\, and get ready for a wild ride. \nPrices\nPreviews\nAdult $69\nConcession/Group (8+) $64\nUnder 35 $55\nMid-Week Matinees\nAdult $79\nConcession/Group (8+) $69\nUnder 35 $60\nWeeknights & Saturday Matinees\nAdult $84\nConcession/Group (8+) $74\nUnder 35 $65\nFriday & Saturday Evenings\nAdult $89\nConcession/Group (8+) $79\n*Concession prices apply to Seniors\, Pensioners\, Students and MEAA members.\nTimes\nMonday 6:30pm\nTuesday – Saturday 7:30pm\nThursday 1:00pm\nSaturday 2:00pm\n*No matinee performance on Sat 18 Oct\n*No matinee performance on Thu 23 Oct\n*Post show Q&A on Mon 27 Oct\n*Captioned performance on Wed 5 Nov\nRunning Time\nApprox. 90 minutes – no interval\nAccessibility\nWheelchair Accessible\nCaptioned Performance – WED 5 NOV

SUMMARY:The Barber of Seville
DESCRIPTION:Opera Australia presents The Barber of Seville at the Regent Theatre\, Melbourne.\nBeyond haircuts and beard trims\, this canny barber is the city’s matchmaking maestro! \nAlmaviva is wealthy\, stealthy and head over heels. Rosina is witty\, pretty and just as smitten. She’s also inconveniently betrothed. They need a plan. Time to call on: Fi-ga-ro! Figaro! Figaro! \nEnter the friendly neighbourhood barber with wits and tricks as sharp as his razors. He sets to work to unite the young lovers in an evening of disguises and duplicity. \nThis rollicking\, laugh-out-loud comedy took a young Rossini just 13 days to write. Playful energy sparkles through as many famous tunes as you can pack into two-and-a-half hours. \nA cast of great voices and high spirits play among a marvellous set of cartoonish proportions — a world inspired by 1920s silent films\, featuring a life-size doll’s house as its centrepiece. \nAustralian Figaros Samuel Dale Johnson and Samuel Dundas lead some of our best comic talents in this side-splitting romp through Seville.
