SUMMARY:Peter and The Starcatcher Melbourne
DESCRIPTION:Peter and The Starcatcher Melbourne 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 favorite among audiences.  The show has earned multiple Tony Awards and critical acclaim for its creativity and heart. \nPeter and the Starcatcher Melbourne opens 8 November\, 2024. \nTour Dates\nCanberra 15 Oct- 3 Nov\nMelbourne 8-30 Nov\nSydney 31 Jan- 16 Feb

SUMMARY:Pippin
DESCRIPTION:Learning the true meaning of glory\, love and war\, and daring to chase the extraordinary. \nWith an unforgettable score from four-time Grammy winner\, three-time Oscar winner and musical theatre giant\, Stephen Schwartz (the composer of WICKED and GODSPELL) and book by Roger O.Hirson\, Pippin is now a contemporary classic. Originally running on Broadway from 1972-75 winning 5 Tonys\, the revival in 2013 also won 4 Tony Awards. \nPippin is a coming of age story of one young man’s journey to be extraordinary and quest in search of true happiness. The restless prince and eldest son of Charlemagne\, Pippin longs for a life of significance. Led by the Leading Player and the mysterious troupe\, Pippin’s adventures explore the inglorious side of war\, temptations of the flesh\, the intrigues of revolution and the power of being King\, only to discover none of it is fulfilling. It is only when he encounters a widow and her young child that Pippin finally experiences true love. However\, the simplicity of this lifestyle soon becomes claustrophobic and the yearning for something more calls in Pippin again. \nPippin finds that happiness lies not in extraordinary endeavors\, but rather in the unextraordinary moments that happen every day.

SUMMARY:Arsenic and Old Lace
DESCRIPTION:.  ItArsenic and Old Lace By Joseph Kesselring \nDirected by Peter Newling \nArsenic and Old Lace is a timeless and classic comedy.  It was a hit both on Broadway and in the West End. \nDrama critic Mortimer Brewster’s engagement announcement is upended when he discovers a corpse in his elderly aunts’ window seat. Mortimer rushes to tell Abby and Martha before they stumble upon the body themselves\, only to learn that the two old women aren’t just aware of the dead man in their parlor\, they killed him! \nBetween his aunts’ penchant for poisoning wine\, a brother who thinks he’s Teddy Roosevelt\, and another brother using plastic surgery to hide from the police—not to mention Mortimer’s own hesitancy about marriage—it’ll be a miracle if Mortimer makes it to his wedding. \nArsenic and Old Lace is a classic black comedy about the only thing more deadly than poison: family.

SUMMARY:Peter and The Starcatcher Canberra
DESCRIPTION:. Peter and the Starcatcher Canberra 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 favorite among audiences.  The show has earned multiple Tony Awards and critical acclaim for its creativity and heart. \nPeter and the Starcatcher Canberra opens October 15\, 2024. \nTour Dates\nCanberra 15 Oct – 3 Nov\nMelbourne 8-30 Nov\nSydney 31 Jan- 16 Feb

SUMMARY:Three Magpies Perched in a Tree
DESCRIPTION:Three Magpies Perched in a Tree is a beautiful\, heartbreaking play of the Indigenous Gothic genre that provides spiritual reprieve through Creation Stories. \nGothic archetypes twist their way through this affecting and confronting theatre trilogy. From the collision of ancient and modern\, juxtaposing Dreaming myths with grim testimony.  From the coalface of our Aboriginal justice and child protection systems. – Cameron Woodhead\, The Age\nBrought to the stage by award-winning Indigenous writer\, director\, actor Glenn Shea & narrated by Uncle Jack Charles\, legendary actor and activist. \nAn Aboriginal man from the stolen generation is working in his Aboriginal community as a front-line juvenile justice worker.  He comes into contact with many Aboriginal adolescent young people who come into contact with the criminal justice system. This story is about how the issues impact not only the young person.  But their friends\, family\, community\, the society they live in and ultimately the Aboriginal worker who is trying to support them. \nGlenn Shea won the 2023 Green Room Award for Best New Writing for Three Magpies Perched in a Tree. The script received the State Library of Victoria R.E Ross Trust Development Award 2010.  And at the 2023 Victorian Premier’s Literary Award it was Highly Commended.

SUMMARY:A Chorus Line
DESCRIPTION:A Chorus Line is a stunning concept musical capturing the spirit and tension of a Broadway chorus audition. Exploring the inner lives and bittersweet ambitions of professional Broadway performers\, the show features one powerhouse number after another. Consequently\, each song delves deeper into their personal journeys\, revealing their struggles and triumphs. \nA Chorus Line delves into the experiences of seventeen dancers.  They are competing for a position in the chorus line of a Broadway show. After the initial cuts\, Zach\, the director and choreographer\, asks each dancer to share their personal stories. Discomfort gives way to revelation and confessions lead to redemption.  The audience begins to see the unique individuality of each dancer within the seemingly uniform chorus. From Cassie\, a star who longs for “the music and the mirror and the chance to dance\,” to Val\, a small-town girl with a newly transformed body\, and Mike\, who stepped into dance class in place of his sister\, confidently saying\, “I can do that.” Inspired by real stories from Broadway dancers as told to dancer and choreographer Michael Bennett\, A Chorus Line is a blend of humour\, heartbreak\, and refreshing honesty. \nMemorable musical numbers include What I Did for Love\, One\, I Can Do That\, At the Ballet\, The Music and the Mirror\, and I Hope I Get It. A brilliantly complex fusion of song\, dance\, and compellingly authentic drama.
