For the Dancing Queens:
Mamma Mia! returned to the Sydney Lyric, bringing back the magic of ABBA with all your favourite hits like "Dancing Queen" and "Take a Chance on Me." Bet you can't resist that urge to grab a friend and do the time warp...er, I mean, shimmy and shake!Be Our Guest for a Beastly Good Time:Disney's Beauty and the Beast: The Musical stormed the Capitol Theatre. Just be sure to avoid the enchanted rose aisle; nobody wants a magical deadline hanging over their heads!
Wicked Wows Audiences: The green with envy (but secretly wonderful) Wicked took over the Sydney Lyric Theatre. Did you finally decide if you were #TeamElphaba or #TeamGlinda?
Get Your Saigon On: The iconic Miss Saigon landed at the Sydney Opera House. Warning: this one might bring a tear to your eye (or two).
Shake it Off with Sister Act: The divine Sister Act had Sydney audiences saying "Amen!" at the Capitol Theatre. Who knew nuns could be so darn funny and have such killer voices?
But Wait, There's More! (Because 2023 Was a Musical Bonanza)
This is just a taste of the musical madness that unfolded in Sydney last year. There was also & Juliet, a fresh take on Shakespeare's classic love story (spoiler alert: Juliet doesn't die this time!), the electrifying MJ the Musical, and SIX: The Musical, a history lesson with a pop twist that'll have you rethinking those six wives of Henry VIII.
So next time you find yourself with a hankering for a good show tune, remember this list (and maybe double-check the year before booking tickets).
Tip: Jot down one takeaway from this post.
