Amplified: The Exquisite Rock and Rage of Chrissy Amphlett

Jacaranda Productions and Seymour Centre present Amplified: The Exquisite Rock and Rage of Chrissy Amphlett, an electrifying ‘rock odyssey’ of music, storytelling and unapologetic attitude, from 15^th - 25^th April.

Following a sold-out, 5-star season at Belvoir St Theatre, beloved performer and writer Sheridan Harbridge (Griffin Theatre Co’s Prima Facie, MTC’s My Brilliant Career) is back fronting an incredible four-piece live band as she channels Chrissy's fierce spirit.

Chrissy Amphlett was a seismic force in a school uniform. She had the raw talent, stage-conquering energy and the rock’n’roll rasp. Her audacious blend of sexuality and vulnerability defined a generation. As the front woman for Divinyls she exploded onto the male-dominated scene, taking the band from the sticky carpets of Australian pubs to the top of the charts.

Filled with anthemic hits, intimate anecdotes and vivid memories from those who knew her best, join us on a kaleidoscopic tour into the heart of an artist well ahead of her time.

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.
The First Murder | Pinchgut Opera
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.
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.
Anastasia – The Broadway Musical
Anastasia is a spectacle and the technical prowess is spectacular.
Gutenberg! The Musical
As befitting a work honouring the inventor of the printing press, Gutenberg! The Musical! is enamoured of words, drunk on words, intoxicated with text, mad for the metaphor, passionate for the pun.

MJ the Musical
MJ the Musical takes you on an immersive experience, like a montage of Michael’s memories and influences leading up to his ‘Dangerous’ tour.

Hamlet | Sh!tfaced Shakespeare
This is not your dear old Grandmother’s Hamlet, it is your drunk Uncle’s, who remembers every Monty Python episode by heart.
Heathers The Musical
Capturing the essence of its predecessor, Heathers The Musical is an absurdly comic production that doesn’t just walk the line of polite society but plans to blow it all up with reckless abandon.
Retrograde | Melbourne Theatre Company
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.
