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.

    Dancing at Lughnasa | New Theatre
    A gifted embroider of words, Friel combines soft lyricism and hard meaning in his play, a tragical comical historical pastoral on a spree and spoiling for a spirited spar.

    Heathers The Musical
    Capturing the essence of its predecessor, Heathers The Musical is an absurdly comic production that doesn’t just walk the line of polite society but plans to blow it all up with reckless abandon.
  • The Glass Menagerie | Melbourne Theatre Company
    This Glass Menagerie is top shelf, and while blessed with an extraordinary cast and the highest of production values, it will not meet with everyone’s measure of how this play should be staged.
