A Christmas Carol is a story that has become a part of Christmas time for many of us. Whether it's the original novel by Charles Dickens or one of the many film adaptations, it is a well-known tale. For their final season of 2020, the Adelaide Repertory Theatre presents a new, reworked version of this timeless tale.
The film didn’t come first. Baz Luhrmann’s charming rebellious-ugly-duckling allegory started life on stage as a play, then became a film. Its transformation into a successful music theatre piece was aided by a patchwork of music, augmented and stitched together by Eddie Perfect.
Produced on Broadway in 1965 this musical, by Dale Wasserman is based on the writings of Miguel de Cervantes (1547-1616), with music by Mitch Leigh and lyrics by Joe Darion
Northern Light Theatre Company are presenting the delightful old-fashioned musical comedy/romance 'The Pajama Game' - made famous by Doris Day in the movie version
Northern Light Theatre Company are letting us cuddle up with them, with a good, old-fashioned, feel-good, musical comedy/romance classic, The Pajama Game.
'No Sex Please - We're British!' is a play about how prudish the traditional British can be when it comes to sex, which creates endless hilarious complications.
The Full Monty is a bold, brassy musical based on the 1997 British film of the same name.
The musical version of Adam Sandler's "The Wedding Singer" has it all in this Marie Clark production - gags, delightful numbers, impressive sets and costumes.
Many modern stage musicals rely on a piece of technical wizardry that becomes synonymous with the show and an audience expects to see it: Wicked MUST have Glinda make her first appearance in a bubble; the chandelier MUST crash to the floor in Phantom Of The Opera; Mary Poppins MUST fly; and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang MUST have a car that floats and flies.
There’s a lot to love about this show which delivers the humour well. It's light, bright and fairly well paced, making this a production worthy of water cooler conversation in any office.
The true stars of Terrance McNally, John Kander and Fred Ebb's multi-award winning musical are director, Max Rayner, and Ole Wiebkin for his gritty, functional sets of a Latin-American prison.
