When

Tuesday 28 July from 7:30pm to 10:25pm

Approximately 2 hours and 55 minutes, including two intervals. See website for full list of dates and times.

Sway, smile and swoon your way through our delicious production of The Merry Widow.

It’s an opulent party, all glitz and glamour and Parisian charm. It’s an old-fashioned romance, flirty and funny and fabulous. It’s a Viennese waltz and you know all the steps.

The Merry Widow is a “shimmering all-singing, all-dancing Broadway-style show” (The Sydney Morning Herald), a frothy comedy packed with familiar waltzes and tuneful melodies.

Graeme Murphy brings his signature brand of lively choreography and deft direction to the dance-packed score.
