In response to the adverse reaction to an edited performance of Company, at the Theatre Royal on Wednesday 18th July, caused by the serious illness of a cast member, Kookaburra would like to restore the integrity of this performance, by holding a special charity performance of Company in support of Oz Show Biz Cares, one of the writers’ favourite charities and the Actors Benevolent Fund.
We invite all music theatre lovers to support Oz Show Biz Cares, Actors Benevolent Fund and this performance by booking through Ticketek. All proceeds from ticket sales will go to Oz Show Biz Cares and Actors Benevolent Fund.
The performance will celebrate and confirm Kookaburra’s unconditional belief in the integrity of all musical theatre writers, Music Theatre International, and their agent Hal Leonard Australia and the Creatives, cast, crew and orchestra of Company.
Kookaburra celebrates the work of Stephen Sondheim and George Furth and apologises for interfering with the integrity of their work.
Kookaburra confirms its commitment to present with integrity to the Australian public the works of the MTI Catalogue and will use its best judgment when presenting these works.
Kookaburra also invites all audience members who attended the production on 18th July to take up the opportunity to be our guest at this special charity performance or any other performance of their choosing and enjoy the show in its entirety.

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.
Stage Kiss | New Theatre
There’s a palpable playfulness to these performances, disciplined, drilled and delightful. There’s fire, bite and fun and lots of kissing.
As You Like It | Fingerless Theatre
Wit and beauty, pride and sorrow, self disgust and merriment
My Brilliant Career | Sydney Theatre Company
Based on an Australian literature classic, My Brilliant Career is destined to become an Australian theatrical classic.
Sistren | Griffin Theatre Company
Iolanthe and Janet Anderson work in cosmic, comedic accord, characterisation charismatic, timing impeccable, delivery precise, together a tour de force that ascends the cliché.
In the care of Pinchgut Opera’s director, Erin Helyard, this music, formulaic as it indeed is in some respects, sprang off the page into an experience rich in emotions.
A small miracle of a play, Happy Feraren’s Savior is a sharp and sweeping satire on the sometimes-self-serving ignobility of sleek American NGOs.
