SUMMARY:School of Rock
DESCRIPTION:Wannabe rock god. Accidental teacher.\nSchool of Rock The Musical follows slacker musician Dewey Finn as he bluffs his way into a prestigious prep school and turns a class of straight-A students into a guitar-shredding\, drum-thumping rock band. \nWith the Battle of the Bands on the line and the school’s uptight principal watching his every move\, Dewey will need more than killer solos to pull it off… he’ll need to stick it to the man… without getting caught.\nWith music by Andrew Lloyd Webber\, lyrics by Glenn Slater\, and a book by Julian Fellowes\, School of Rock – The Musical brings pure rock rebellion to the stage. \nBased on the Paramount movie written by Mike White\, it slams power chords into prep school and turns the volume up on what it means to break the rules\, find your people\, and play with everything you’ve got. This isn’t just school it’s a full-blown anthem for anyone who’s ever felt out of place and turned it into power.

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.

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.

SUMMARY:American Psycho – The Musical
DESCRIPTION:Based on Bret Easton Ellis’ controversial 1991 novel and the cult 2000 film\, this blistering stage adaptation delivers a satirical punch straight to the heart of capitalism\, consumerism and unchecked male power.\nWith a book by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa (Riverdale) and music and lyrics by Tony Award winner Duncan Sheik (Spring Awakening)\, this bold musical dives into the mind of Patrick Bateman: a young\, wealthy investment banker with a taste for designer suits by day\, and something far more sinister by night. \nSet in the money-obsessed Manhattan of the late 1980s and soundtracked by Sheik’s slick score alongside iconic hits from Phil Collins\, Tears for Fears\, New Order and Huey Lewis and the News\, American Psycho is a blood-soaked thrill ride through greed\, privilege and moral decay. \nPresented by See You Sunday Inc.

But when her criminal aunt Debra shows up with a get-rich-quick scheme too good to be legal\, Kimberly decides you’re only young once.

SUMMARY:La Bohème
DESCRIPTION:On a freezing Christmas Eve\, love sparks. Two hands meet in the dark and four friends’ lives change forever.\nExperience the original bohemian love story. \nWhen Mimì meets Rodolfo\, it’s love at first touch. They head out to bustling Café Momus\, where the feisty Musetta and Marcello rekindle their relationship.

Award-winning director Dean Bryant (Anything Goes\, Sweet Charity) brings his trademark wit and vivacity to this new staging\, which captures that giddy moment where you and your friends feel you’ll live forever.
