Sunday in the Park with George

5th – 13th May 2017

Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine’s SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE captures two moments in time revolving around one picture frame.

SUNDAY follows painter Georges Seurat in the months leading up to the completion of his most famous painting, A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte. Consumed by creative hunger and his need to “finish the hat”, Seurat's artistic ability thrives while his love diminishes, not realising that his actions will reverberate over the next one hundred years.

From the award–winning duo behind Into the Woods, this stunning masterpiece merges past and present into beautiful, poignant truths about life, love and the creation of art.

Heathers: The Musical

Semester 2, 2017

Based on the 1989 cult film, HEATHERS: THE MUSICAL combines a punchy rock–musical score with an unflinching exploration of teen angst in a new and deliciously dark comedy.

Westerberg High is ruled by a shoulder–padded, scrunchie–wearing clique: Heather, Heather and Heather – the hottest and cruelest girls in all of Ohio. But when misfit Veronica Sawyer meets the troubled and sexy stranger J.D., the two hatch a twisted plan to put the Heathers in their place – six feet under.
​
Kevin Murphy and Laurence O'Keefe’s HEATHERS: THE MUSICAL is a hilarious, heartfelt, and homicidal new show based on the greatest teen comedy of all time.
