Children
Are Stinky is an exciting award-winning children’s comedy by Circus
Trick Tease!
Set in the 90s, with plenty of in-jokes and
cleverly choreographed nostalgia, parents are in for a rollicking trip
down memory lane. This is an enjoyable show for all ages that encourages
the slight of years to be proud of themselves.
Children Are
Stinky challenges children to step on stage and prove themselves
worthy, smart, coordinated and creative against ridiculous circus
performers. The results are heartwarming and hilarious, creating wonderful
interactions and an audience of proud kids and parents.
Still
buzzing from sell-out seasons across the globe, this show is building
momentum and continuing to captivate adults and children alike. This is
circus fun for the whole family!
“Kylie and Jason lead us
through a fluid and fast-paced hour of amazing acrobatics, brilliant

The Owl's Apprentice is the
story of a young owl learning to become wise!
A young owl named
Poot Poot has been sent to Owl School to learn to become wise. He’s not
like the other owls: he doesn’t know how to fly, he misses his family, and
he just wants to go home. He knows the only way he can go home is by
gaining “wisdom,” but he doesn’t even know what that is.
His
teacher, Mr Tawny, sends him to get a book from a library in a far-off
city. On his way, he meets other animals who share with him their own
special breed of wisdom. He meets a wombat who tells him to keep trying
and not give up. He meets a Lyrebird who teaches him to listen very
carefully to what he hears. He meets a Kookaburra who makes him laugh even
when he’s sad. He meets an echidna who shows him how to protect himself
and a platypus who shows him it’s okay to be different.
On
his journey, he finds that wisdom isn’t just one thing, it’s many things.
It’s a collection of all the little things you learn every day. But when a
bushfire threatens the Owl School, will Poot Poot be able to use his newly
gained wisdom to save the forest?
The Owl’s Apprentice
is an interactive solo show that uses a combination of shadow puppetry,
hand puppetry and story-telling. The show is about our unique Australian
animals and draws on the 16 Habits of Mind. The Owl’s Apprentice poses
questions with the aim of extending young minds.

Following
sold-out seasons at the Sydney Opera House, State Theatre and City Recital
Hall, Monsieur Camembert's Cohen Noir pays tribute to the music,
poetry and spirit of Leonard Cohen with breathtaking originality.
Presented by three-time ARIA Award-winners Monsieur Camembert, the concert
offers a thrilling reimagining of Cohen’s songs – blending jazz, swing,
latin, tango, klezmer and more.
With a powerhouse 10-piece band, a
40-piece choir and an all-star lineup of guest vocalists – including Rebecca
Barnard, Rob Snarski, Nina Ferro, and Canadian-born Brian Campeau
– this is far from a traditional tribute. Drawing on over three decades of
repertoire, the performance is interwoven with Cohen’s poetry and rare
audio of the man himself, creating a rich and immersive experience for
devoted fans and newcomers alike.
Critically praised for its
musical daring and emotional resonance, the show showcases Monsieur
Camembert’s signature fusion of virtuosity and soul. Expect timeless
classics like “Suzanne”, “Bird on a Wire” and “Hallelujah” transformed
with fresh arrangements and unforgettable energy.
“An uplifting
tribute… Monsieur Camembert does justice to the emotional, lyrical and
melodic intent of the songs while adding a new dimension.” – The
Weekend Australian
An adventurous and heartfelt homage to one
of the great voices of our time.

Australian singer-songwriter Pete Murray is set to embark on a
mammoth 54-date run that will see Pete expansively tour the country in
solo acoustic mode for the first time ever, commencing this May and
supported nationally by Rachael Fahim and Brett Wood.
Pete’s
largest tour ever and with most shows being all ages, the extensive solo
acoustic tour will see him visit a stack of markets he’s never been to,
rolling through every pocket of Australia in 2025, with a whopping 54
shows lined up across regional Australia as well as capital cities from
May through to early September. Pete will journey across the Northern
Territory, Victoria, Tasmania, Queensland, Victoria, New South Wales, the
ACT and Western Australia for these special intimate shows, with the
mammoth run ultimately concluding in the Blue Mountains.
Pete
Murray needs little introduction as one of Australia’s most successful

of millions of streams, released three ARIA chart-topping albums, and
boasts 17 ARIA Award nominations amongst multiple other wins and
nominations. His upcoming tour will be Pete’s first ever solo tour on home
soil, armed with an acoustic guitar and a stunning back catalogue of hits
to create his setlists from.
“I’ve never done a solo tour in
this country before, so it’s been on the cards for a while,”
shares Pete. “I’ve done it overseas and people love it - so it’s
about time I did it in my own country. There will be some storytelling of
my songs, my life and career. The shows will be very intimate.”

This timeless,
captivating story is brought to life in this glorious musical filled with
personal discovery, heartache, hope and everlasting love.
Based on
Louisa May Alcott's life, Little Women: A Broadway Musical follows
the adventures of sisters, Jo, Meg, Beth and Amy March. Jo is trying to
sell her stories for publication, but the publishers are not interested –
her friend, Professor Bhaer, tells her that she has to do better and write
more from herself. Begrudgingly taking this advice, Jo weaves the story of
herself and her sisters and their experience growing up in Civil War
America.
Little Women embodies the complete theatrical
experience, guaranteeing a night filled with laughter, tears and a lifting
of the spirit. The powerful score soars with the sounds of personal
discovery, heartache and hope – the sounds of a young woman finding her
voice.

Mooney’s
gone country. Deep country. Dead Set Country. He likes the word
country because it’s got a rude word in it if you EMPHasise it properly.
Dead
Set Country is Lawrence’s brand new hit show that’s all about a city
boy gone bush. Roughed up by locals, mourning dead wombats, talking with
horses and having an abiding affair with a tractor - in short Mooney is Dead
Set Country.
Following on from the acclaim for his past three
shows Beauty, Embracing Your Limitations and Pigeonhole he’s
back with Dead Set Country. This time he’s covered in dust,
speaking slower and line dancing. It’s Clarkson’s Farm
meets Lawrence Mooney’s head-on collision with country Australia. “You’re
not from round here are ya mister?”
Lawrence Mooney is an
acclaimed stand-up comedian who across a thirty-year career has been
regarded by critics and fans as properly hilarious whether appearing as
himself, one of his many characters, live or on the tele. Lawrence has
toured the country with his best mates in the hit show The Comedians
and can be seen regularly on The Front Bar on Seven and The Back
Page on Fox Sports.

The Owl's Apprentice is the
story of a young owl learning to become wise!
A young owl named
Poot Poot has been sent to Owl School to learn to become wise. He’s not
like the other owls: he doesn’t know how to fly, he misses his family, and
he just wants to go home. He knows the only way he can go home is by
gaining “wisdom,” but he doesn’t even know what that is.
His
teacher, Mr Tawny, sends him to get a book from a library in a far-off
city. On his way, he meets other animals who share with him their own
special breed of wisdom. He meets a wombat who tells him to keep trying
and not give up. He meets a Lyrebird who teaches him to listen very
carefully to what he hears. He meets a Kookaburra who makes him laugh even
when he’s sad. He meets an echidna who shows him how to protect himself
and a platypus who shows him it’s okay to be different.
On
his journey, he finds that wisdom isn’t just one thing, it’s many things.
It’s a collection of all the little things you learn every day. But when a
bushfire threatens the Owl School, will Poot Poot be able to use his newly
gained wisdom to save the forest?
The Owl’s Apprentice
is an interactive solo show that uses a combination of shadow puppetry,
hand puppetry and story-telling. The show is about our unique Australian
animals and draws on the 16 Habits of Mind. The Owl’s Apprentice poses
questions with the aim of extending young minds.

Following
sold-out seasons at the Sydney Opera House, State Theatre and City Recital
Hall, Monsieur Camembert's Cohen Noir pays tribute to the music,
poetry and spirit of Leonard Cohen with breathtaking originality.
Presented by three-time ARIA Award-winners Monsieur Camembert, the concert
offers a thrilling reimagining of Cohen’s songs – blending jazz, swing,
latin, tango, klezmer and more.
With a powerhouse 10-piece band, a
40-piece choir and an all-star lineup of guest vocalists – including Rebecca
Barnard, Rob Snarski, Nina Ferro, and Canadian-born Brian Campeau
– this is far from a traditional tribute. Drawing on over three decades of
repertoire, the performance is interwoven with Cohen’s poetry and rare
audio of the man himself, creating a rich and immersive experience for
devoted fans and newcomers alike.
Critically praised for its
musical daring and emotional resonance, the show showcases Monsieur
Camembert’s signature fusion of virtuosity and soul. Expect timeless
classics like “Suzanne”, “Bird on a Wire” and “Hallelujah” transformed
with fresh arrangements and unforgettable energy.
“An uplifting
tribute… Monsieur Camembert does justice to the emotional, lyrical and
melodic intent of the songs while adding a new dimension.” – The
Weekend Australian
An adventurous and heartfelt homage to one
of the great voices of our time.

Revered
Australian singer-songwriter Pete Murray is set to embark on a
mammoth 54-date run that will see Pete expansively tour the country in
solo acoustic mode for the first time ever, commencing this May and
supported nationally by Rachael Fahim and Brett Wood.
Pete’s
largest tour ever and with most shows being all ages, the extensive solo
acoustic tour will see him visit a stack of markets he’s never been to,
rolling through every pocket of Australia in 2025, with a whopping 54
shows lined up across regional Australia as well as capital cities from
May through to early September. Pete will journey across the Northern
Territory, Victoria, Tasmania, Queensland, Victoria, New South Wales, the
ACT and Western Australia for these special intimate shows, with the
mammoth run ultimately concluding in the Blue Mountains.
Pete
Murray needs little introduction as one of Australia’s most successful
singer-songwriters who has sold over 1.2 million albums, amassed hundreds
of millions of streams, released three ARIA chart-topping albums, and
boasts 17 ARIA Award nominations amongst multiple other wins and
nominations. His upcoming tour will be Pete’s first ever solo tour on home
soil, armed with an acoustic guitar and a stunning back catalogue of hits
to create his setlists from.
“I’ve never done a solo tour in
this country before, so it’s been on the cards for a while,”
shares Pete. “I’ve done it overseas and people love it - so it’s
about time I did it in my own country. There will be some storytelling of
my songs, my life and career. The shows will be very intimate.”

children’s story by Margery Williams.
This is a show where
the toys are in charge on stage and your own special guest toy is a VIP

change in a way that allows children to connect with them, Velveteen
Rabbit is about a toy rabbit who becomes real… but how did it happen?
The
story is infused with dynamic audience participation, live and recorded
music with live stream video and projections layered into the work that
plays with multiple scales that reflect the perspective of a child.
Playful, visual and poetic.

This timeless,
captivating story is brought to life in this glorious musical filled with
personal discovery, heartache, hope and everlasting love.
Based on
Louisa May Alcott's life, Little Women: A Broadway Musical follows
the adventures of sisters, Jo, Meg, Beth and Amy March. Jo is trying to
sell her stories for publication, but the publishers are not interested –
her friend, Professor Bhaer, tells her that she has to do better and write
more from herself. Begrudgingly taking this advice, Jo weaves the story of
herself and her sisters and their experience growing up in Civil War
America.
Little Women embodies the complete theatrical
experience, guaranteeing a night filled with laughter, tears and a lifting
of the spirit. The powerful score soars with the sounds of personal
discovery, heartache and hope – the sounds of a young woman finding her
voice.

Dead
Set Country is Lawrence’s brand new hit show that’s all about a city

horses and having an abiding affair with a tractor - in short Mooney is Dead

Following on from the acclaim for his past three
shows Beauty, Embracing Your Limitations and Pigeonhole he’s

It’s been a while. A LOT has changed. I have a wife, children, two
chickens and an axolotl. I’ve written jokes about all of it and practised
them daily in front of both the chickens and the axolotl. The animals have
only gotten healthier and more joyful with each retelling so now I’m ready

Fifty years
on, Hotel California remains a cornerstone of classic rock — an iconic
album that defined a generation and cemented the Eagles as rock legends.
In 2026, The Australian Eagles Show, Australia’s premier tribute to
the Eagles’ unforgettable sound, honours the milestone live in concert.

Backed by a powerhouse five-piece band, the show brings to life the
legendary sounds that have captivated audiences for five decades.

'New Kid in Town', 'Life in the Fast Lane', and, of course, the
Grammy-winning epic 'Hotel California'. This tour also honours the solo
hits of Don Henley, Joe Walsh, and the late Glenn Frey,
offering a full-bodied tribute to the band’s enduring legacy.
Formed
in Los Angeles in 1971, the Eagles are one of the best-selling bands of
all time, with more than 150 million albums sold worldwide, six
number-one albums, and six Grammy Awards. Their Greatest Hits
(1971–1975) remains one of the best-selling albums of the 20th
century, while Hotel California, released in December 1976, is
widely regarded as one of the greatest rock albums ever recorded.
The

the spirit of the original band, delivering an authentic concert
experience that continues to wow fans across Australia and beyond.
