Take a coffee break and enjoy toe-tapping tunes in 9 to 5: The Musical at Don Russell Performing Arts Centre this November!

It’s time to tumble out of bed, stumble to the kitchen, and pour yourself a cup of ambition - iconic ‘80s film 9 to 5 is coming to the stage in a production by local theatre company Art in Motion.

The rights holder David Spicer enjoyed watching his fifteenth (or thereabouts) different production of the musical by Queen and Ben Elton.

I almost auditioned for the role of Buddy – the aging rocker in the musical who has one solo – and my daughter who attended the tight and energetic performance by the North Shore Theatre Company was so relieved I chose not to.

Gilbert and Sullivan Opera Victoria brings you comedy, tragedy, parody and romance in A Festival of WS Gilbert Plays presented at The Malvern Theatre with five shows between 21 and 24 November.

While Gilbert and Sullivan’s ever fresh comic operas have been continuously performed around the world for 150 years, like much of Sullivan’s non-operatic music, Gilbert’s plays have languished.

Preview audiences have been thoroughly entertained by the new production at Arts Theatre Cronulla, The 39 Steps, a parody play adapted from the 1915 novel by John Buchan and the 1935 film by Alfred Hitchcock. The play shares the plot and characters with the film, and there are entertaining Hitchcock references throughout. However, as Director Cheryl Butler notes in the program, “if you think you’re going to see Alfred Hitchcock’s 39 Steps, oops!”
