Carmen Pavlovic, Global Creatures CEO has announced that Global Creatures will join forces with Sydney Theatre Company (STC) to produce the World Premiere of Muriel’s Wedding The Musical.

Belvoir’s Artistic Director Eamon Flack has unveiled the company’s 2017 Season. There are new plays from Australia and around the world, return seasons and tours of popular plays and two of Belvoir’s favourite actors in two classics.
