What's On

The Strangeways Cabaret

The Strangeways Cabaret takes audiences on an antics-fuelled ride that packs a surprising emotional punch.

Original songs about online dating, loneliness and broken promises, share the stage with duelling eyebrows, glamorous drag queens, and stories of killer spiders and lovelorn vampires to create a joyful celebration of life and love in all its forms.

Since 2021, the Cabaret has been an annual event on the Merrigong calendar but this year, The Strangeways Ensemble are spreading the love and taking it on the road to regional venues and including local artists as special guests in the lineup. With a live cabaret band and whole lot of heart, The Strangeways Cabaret promises unique takes on one of the most explored human emotions – love.

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.
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.
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.
