Calling all musical lovers!
We've got the classics covered, folks. Dive into the timeless tale of Beauty and the Beast (running from June 27th), and prepare to be enchanted all over again (unless you've got a heart of stone, you monster).
Looking for a powerhouse performance?
Then get ready to shake your tail feather to the Queen of Rock herself, Tina Turner (September 24th onwards)! This high-energy musical promises to be a real scorcher, so dig out your dancing shoes and prepare to lose yourself in the music.
Tip: Patience makes reading smoother.
But wait, there's more!
Melbourne's not all musicals and glitz (though there's plenty of that, and we're not complaining). If you're after something a little different, there's a whole world of theatre, comedy, and even magic to explore. Check out the hilarious antics of mismatched roommates in The Odd Couple (it's funnier than it sounds, promise!), or be transported to the fantastical world of Wicked (August 3rd onwards) – because who wouldn't want to see what the Wicked Witch of the West was like before Dorothy dropped in with her sparkly red shoes?
Feeling like a laugh?
Melbourne's comedy scene is legendary, and there are always top-notch stand-up acts happening around town. Just check out Sunday Night Stand Up Comedy Show (every week!), where you can catch a mix of established and up-and-coming comics.
Tip: Note one practical point from this post.
And for the magic fans...
Witness the incredible illusions of Australia's own superstar magician, Cosentino (limited season at Crown Melbourne). Just don't blink, or you might miss something mind-blowing!
