Carousel In Concert
 

Fresh from its triumphant run aboard the Cunard majestic Queen Elizabeth, Sydney Musical and Opera Society proudly presents a spectacular new production of Rodgers & Hammerstein’s beloved Broadway and West End classic, Carousel in Concert. This limited season will play at Glen Street Theatre, Belrose from the 2nd to 3rd July, and the Pavilion Performing Arts Centre, Sutherland from the 5th to 6th July.

Hailed by Times Magazine as the greatest musical of the 20th-century, Carousel celebrates its 80th anniversary in 2025. Set in a coastal village in 19th-century Maine, this sweeping romance follows a passionate and tumultuous love story between roguish carnival barker Billy Bigalow (Simon Militano), and independent mill worker, Julie Jordan (NIDA graduate, Pippa Luscombe).

Featuring a breathtaking 23-piece orchestra and some of musical theatre’s most cherished songs including ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’ and ‘If I Loved You’, this spellbinding production promises to captivate audiences with its soaring melodies and timeless storytelling.

Director Julia Robertson (Hayes Theatre Co’s The Producers, Little Eggs Collective’s Metropolis) brings a bold new vision to the stage, reimagining the work with striking originality and depth.

Don’t miss this rare opportunity to experience one of Rodgers & Hammerstein’s most celebrated masterpieces in all its grandeur in its 80th year anniversary.

     It’s been almost 15 years since The Book of Mormon premiered on Broadway and even longer since Joseph Smith ‘discovered’ the golden plates that provided the inspiration for the show.

    Steeped in meta-theatricality, A Mirror prompts us to reflect on the status of storytelling, of its place in creating a culture, its manipulation into myth, its power to prick and to prod.

     Step aside The Boy from Oz, there’s a new contender for the title of ‘The Great Australian Musical’.

    Going from that show to Mary said what she said was like going from a Mozart piano concerto to one of the more repetitive pieces by Philip Glass.
