What's On

Irving Berlin’s Holiday Inn
 

6-14 December

Bursting with irrepressible charm, irresistible humour and a nostalgia that promises to delight, Irving Berlin’s Holiday Inn tap dances onto the Riverside stage to ring in the Christmas season.

Crooner Jim Hardy says goodbye to the hustle and bustle of big-city showbiz to settle down on his farmhouse in Connecticut. He longs for fresh air and ‘Blue Skies’, but it turns out life isn’t the same without his beloved song and dance.

Enter Linda, a passionate schoolteacher with talent of her own. Together Jim and Linda – with the help of unlikely friend and local handy-gal Louise – transform the farmhouse into a fabulous inn, with dazzling performances to celebrate the holidays. It isn’t all bright lights and razzle dazzle, however, when Jim’s best friend Ted tries to lure Linda away to be his new Hollywood dance partner. Will Jim be able to salvage his last chance at love and finally dance ‘Cheek to Cheek’ with Linda?

Based on the film that introduced ‘White Christmas’ to the world, and featuring other Irving Berlin classics such as ‘Stepping Out With My Baby’, ‘Easter Parade’, ‘Shaking the Blues Away’ and more, Holiday Inn guarantees a toe-tapping good time for audiences of all ages.

Do not miss this festive smash hit season!

    Back to the Future: The Musical
    Back to the Future: The Musical is its own kind of time machine. It straps you into the driver’s seat of the DeLorean and takes you back to when movies were cultural connective tissue.

    Meow Meow’s The Red Shoes
    Initial inertia blazes into an exuberant crazy kamikaze cabaret, a loose rendering and deconstruction of Hans Christian Andersen’s so called fairy tale.
  • I, Julia | Lily Hensby
    I, Julia | Lily Hensby
    Starting off with a fearless rendition of a ferocious monologue from an episode of VEEP, Lily riffs about her admiration and love for Julia Louis-Dreyfus.

    Present Laughter | New Theatre
    Festooned with verbal foliage that has not desiccated over eight decades, Noel Coward’s Present Laughter is a present of much needed laughter leading up to the silly season.

    ECDysis
    Elizabeth Cameron Dalman enters in sweeping red chiffon to open the space. It immediately feels ceremonial, generous, and charged with the weight of six decades in dance.
