Music by John Kander

9 January - 19 February 2017
The Kit Kat Club is returning to Sydney's Hayes Theatre Co. in all its decadence for a new Australian revival of CABARET from 9 January 2017.
Joining the amazing Paul Capsis as Emcee, Kate Fitzpatrick (Fräulein Schneider) and Debora Krizak (Fräulein Kost) will be Australian actress, singer and leading lady of musical theatre Chelsea Gibb as Sally Bowles. The star-studded cast also includes Marcus Graham as Ernst Ludwig, John O'May as Herr Schultz, Jason Kos as Clifford Bradshaw, Michelle Barr as Fritzi, Nick Jones as Victor, Matthew Manahan as Gottfried and Michelle Smitheram as Helga.
CABARET is based on The Berlin Stories by famous author Christopher Isherwood with songs and lyrics by John Kander and Fred Ebb. Even though it is fifty years since the first Broadway performance, CABARET's message is as relevant now as it was then.

Legendary frontierswoman; notorious daredevil; profane storyteller; unwomanly radical - CALAMITY JANE is one of the most immediately recognizable figures of the old American West.
This stripped-back, rough-and-ready reimagining shucks off the buckskin and brings a barrelful of dirt and grit to the classic musical. Virginia Gay (TV's All Saints and Winners & Losers; Hayes Theatre Co's High Society) as the magnetic, masculine heroine - joined by a ragtag band of acclaimed comedic actors and musicians who share all the other roles Featuring timeless standards such as 'The Deadwood Stage', 'Just Blew In From The Windy City' 'Black Hills of Dakota', and 'Secret Love', this new main-stage production was inspired by the sold-out Neglected Musicals presentation of 'Calamity Jane' starring Virginia Gay in August 2016.

BIG FISH
Music and lyrics by Andrew Lippa
Book by John August
Based on Daniel Wallace's 1998 novel, Big Fish: A Novel of Mythic Proportions, and the 2003 film Big Fish written by John August and directed by Tim Burton
Director Tyran Parke
Choreographer Cameron Mitchell
18 April - 14 May 2017
Based on the celebrated novel by Daniel Wallace and the acclaimed film directed by Tim Burton, BIG FISH centres on Edward Bloom, a traveling salesman who lives life to its fullest... and then some! Edward's incredible, larger-than-life stories thrill everyone around him - most of all, his devoted wife Sandra. But their son Will, about to have a child of his own, is determined to find the truth behind his father's epic tales. Overflowing with heart, humour and spectacular stagecraft, BIG FISH is an extraordinary new Broadway musical that reminds us why we love going to the theatre - for an experience that's richer, funnier and BIGGER than life itself.
