Tootsie
 

Described by The New York Post as “Broadway’s funniest new musical” and praised by Rolling Stone as “musical comedy heaven”, Tootsie is the laugh-out-loud story of a talented but difficult actor who struggles to find work until one show-stopping act of desperation lands him the role of a lifetime.

Based on the Oscar winning beloved hit film, the Tony Award® Winner for Best Book of a Musical, Tootsie also received 11 Tony Award nominations, including Best Musical and Best Original Score. With music and lyrics by Tony Award & Grammy award-winner David Yazbek (The Band's Visit, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels) and book by Tony Award-winner Robert Horn (13 the Musical, Shucked), Tootsie has had audiences rolling in the aisles.

Fast-paced and outrageously funny, Tootsie plays with identity, ambition and ego, all while keeping the laughs coming.

Tootsie makes its Australian premiere in Sydney at TEATRO from 26 May.
