Barbra: The Greatest Star

Artist. Icon. Force of nature. We’re marching our band out and beating our drum with this concert event honouring a trailblazing musical storyteller, and the music that’s shaped generations.

Barbra Streisand is a uniquely luminous, uncompromising, and boundary-breaking talent, and Barbra: The Greatest Star celebrates her peerless repertoire, legendary humour, and ground-breaking impact on music and culture, with the same fearlessness she’s shown on stage and screen for over sixty years.

Director and performer Brittanie Shipway (Once On This Island; The Pirates of Penzance) collaborates with three other incredible vocalists and a live four-piece band, to showcase the solid-gold Streisand songbook – sharing insight and new perspectives on the songs you love, and serving up a few surprises along the way. Expect an invigorating mix of soaring ballads, brassy anthems, and intimate moments that evoke the heart of Barbra’s unmatched artistry.

This isn’t just a tribute show to the way we were – it’s an illuminating journey through the legacy of a superstar.

As You Like It | Fingerless Theatre
Wit and beauty, pride and sorrow, self disgust and merriment

The Rock Orchestra by Candlelight
Even the instruments are custom-cool, bare down to the bones like the skeletal relics of orchestras of the underworld.
The Book of Mormon
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.

Mary said what she said | 2026 Adelaide Festival
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.
