What's On

La Bohème
 

Puccini’s La Bohème, a captivating story of young Bohemian love at Riverside Theatres Paramatta on Saturday 24th August.

The only opportunity to see the production in Sydney, this new production breathes fresh life into Puccini’s classic score under the leadership of award-winning director Dean Bryant (Anything Goes, Sweet Charity).

On a freezing Christmas Eve, love sparks. Two hands meet in the dark and four friend’s lives change forever. When Mimì meets Rodolfo, it’s love at first touch. They head out to bustling Café Momus, where the feisty Musetta and Marcello rekindle their relationship. But even the deepest love can’t warm a freezing winter.

For our bohemians, everything is possible, and the future can't come quickly enough. Rodolfo and his friends are determined to make their mark on the world and experience everything it has to offer – but right now they'd settle for something warm to eat.

With set and costume design by Isabel Hudson (Griffin Theatre’s Pony, American Psycho, Cry Baby) and lighting design by Damien Cooper (STC’s On The Beach, Belvoir’s Into The Woods), La Bohème soars with the ecstasy of love, crackles with the pain of jealousy and cries with the agony of loss.

Don’t miss this unforgettable new staging, capturing that giddy moment where you and your friends feel you’ll live forever.

    To Shakespeare’s text be true is the obvious goal here, and writer, director and actor have each scored.

    Uked! | Bondi Theatre Company
    Uked! is a sing along, string along, immersive jukebox musical, that's more folksy balladeering than an all out, all that jazz razzmatazz.

    Doubt | Sydney Theatre Company
    Contradiction, conundrum, conflict, racism, misogyny and homophobia run through this play like a main circuit cable snaking through a moral minefield of explosive allegation.

    Following the unedifying edict that "there's a sucker born every minute", the show skewers the modern self-improvement economy in a piss-take parody of today's 'gurus' and snake-oil salesmen.
