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.

    The script is based on a true story, although this dramatisation can feel somewhat contrived, with important assertions not interrogated, and credibility stretched as a result.

    Izzard: The Tragedy of Hamlet
    To Shakespeare’s text be true is the obvious goal here, and writer, director and actor have each scored.

    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.

    Even when individual works did not fully land for me dramaturgically, there is no denying the precision, intelligence and care of the artists creating them.

    Unabashedly and unapologetically entertaining, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels delights in its hoax hokum, a whimsical hustle of musical comedy bustle.
