Elvis
Presley is a legend. Of that, there is no doubt.
Mark Anthony,
Australia’s premier Elvis tribute artist, is himself a legendary artist.
With his international-class band, Mark Anthony’s performances as Elvis
are always sold out, earning him the status of Australia’s number-one
Elvis tribute artist. Mark is also recognised by Elvis Presley Enterprises
and Graceland USA, as one of the top professional tribute artists in the
world today. Mark’s tribute to Elvis is flawless - in music, mood, and
movement. Like a well-trained and gifted actor, Mark ‘becomes’ Elvis in a
mysterious, magical way that is difficult to describe. Simply, you have to
experience it for yourself.
This new show, “Elvis – A Legendary
Performer” is the story of Elvis’ magnificent Comeback Special
in 1968 and the triumphant performances that followed in the 1970s. These
were the performances in which Elvis shook off the shackles of cinematic
mediocrity and reclaimed his position as the ultimate performer of the age.
Mark’s
performances of these timeless songs, backed by his world-class band, are
indistinguishable from the originals: abundantly energetic, meticulously
orchestrated, and brilliantly performed. You will leave the theatre
mesmerised - wondering what it was that just happened.
It does not
– cannot - get any better than this! Watch a preview of Elvis The
Legendary Performer on YouTube.

Iconic
star of stage and screen John Waters celebrates the songs of the British
Pop Invasion that changed modern music forever. The newest show from
John Waters, featuring Stewart D’Arrietta and the Chartbusters presents an
era of music that remains in the cellular memory of fans over generations.
From
the evocative strains of Where Do You Go to My Lovely, the
memory-dredging Waterloo Sunset and To Love Somebody, to the
infectious grooves of Itchycoo Park and the anthemic My
Generation, Waters and his band reprise and reinvent the classic hits.
When
commercial radio licences were not available in the 1960s UK, pop and rock
music was broadcast from Luxembourg, a clever move by the British record
industry to circumnavigate the laws of the day. With his six-piece band
and singers in brilliant voice, Waters recounts this loophole, anecdotes
and moving memories of the era, taking the audience through the time
continuum to songs that resound over decades.
The Beatles exploded
onto the scene followed by so many more, and the British Invasion truly
began, including The Moody Blues, The Kinks, The Who, and scores of
others. Their legendary songs live on stage as Radio Luxembourg are
a stirring and enjoyable experience. It’s impossible to keep still!

Music
Legends: The Simon and Garfunkel Story
Simon and Garfunkel are
the most well-known and beloved folk/rock duo of all time. The combination
of Simon’s poetic lyrics and stunning melodies with Garfunkel’s soaring
tenor, and their perfectly blended, intricate harmonies, provided the
perfect platform for some of the most memorable songs of all time. And
yet, while their music was transcendent, their relationship was fractured
and complicated. Like Lennon and McCartney, their musically complementary
differences caused impossible friction, and they parted ways in the early
70’s. Love of their music, however, never abated. Despite successful solo
careers, their reunion concerts and tours together have proven iconic,
drawing millions of listeners from across generations.
Music
Legends: The Simon and Garfunkel Story celebrates the entire career of
Simon & Garfunkel, their years together, their time apart, and their many
reunions. From the team that brought you The Billy Joel Story, The
Troubadours and The Paul McCartney Story, comes a thrilling
2-Act Celebration of some of the best songs ever written. Performed live
by the Music Legends band, this promises to be an incredibly joyful show,

Josephine Wants To Dance is
a hilarious musical about the importance of believing in yourself and
realising your dreams and... a dancing kangaroo! Based on the picture book
by Jackie French and Bruce Whatley, this delightful musical is a must-see!
Josephine
is a kangaroo who loves to dance. Her little brother, Joey, tells her
kangaroos don't dance, they hop - but Josephine continues to point her
toes and leap through the air. When a ballet troupe comes to the sleepy
town of Shaggy Gully, Josephine desperately wants to dance like the
ballerinas in pink tutus and silk ballet shoes.
On the day of the
first performance, the Ballet Company is in trouble. The prima ballerina
twists her ankle and the understudy has a splinter in her toe. Who can
dance the lead role? Josephine's talents are called upon to help save the
day. Can she do it, and more importantly, does it matter that she's a
kangaroo?

Experience
the wonder of Roy Orbison in this brilliant theatrical portrayal of
the man, his music, his voice, & his life.
You will find
yourself believing you are in his presence, transported back in time,
reliving the emotion of each of his songs & the stories of his life.
Mark
Shelley is simply brilliant in his characterisation of Roy. He not only
has the vocal range & tone to honour his songs, but he also has the
sensitivity & artistic ability to ‘be’ Roy.
Without
a doubt, this is the definitive portrayal of Roy Orbison - the man, his
music & his life.
'Only the Lonely', 'Running Scared',
'Sweet Dream Baby', 'Candy Man', 'Blue Bayou', 'In Dreams', 'Anything You
Want', 'Crying', 'Workin for the Man', 'Penny Arcade', 'Pretty Woman',
and many more.
The ‘Big O’ stood head & shoulders above the rest,
his vocals were peerless, his range extraordinary. His songs are unique,
impassioned & personal. Orbison, the man, was enigmatic, driven, shy,
funny, and quietly charismatic.
From his initial success in the
1960s to the resurgence of his career in the '80s, Roy Orbison’s voice
remained remarkable, communicating an emotional intensity not experienced
in popular music before or since. His songs conveyed vulnerability, love,
loss & fun. His performance was unique, simple & powerful.
Orbison’s
life was littered with personal tragedy, & career highs & lows. His
wonderful resurgence in popularity in the late '80s through his legendary ‘Black
& White Night’ Concert, his solo album ‘Mystery Girl’,
& the formation of the Supergroup ‘The Traveling Wilburys’ was a fitting
final chapter for such a creative genius.

Elvis
Presley is a legend. Of that, there is no doubt.
Mark Anthony,
Australia’s premier Elvis tribute artist, is himself a legendary artist.
With his international-class band, Mark Anthony’s performances as Elvis
are always sold out, earning him the status of Australia’s number-one
Elvis tribute artist. Mark is also recognised by Elvis Presley Enterprises
and Graceland USA, as one of the top professional tribute artists in the
world today. Mark’s tribute to Elvis is flawless - in music, mood, and
movement. Like a well-trained and gifted actor, Mark ‘becomes’ Elvis in a
mysterious, magical way that is difficult to describe. Simply, you have to
experience it for yourself.
This new show, “Elvis – A Legendary
Performer” is the story of Elvis’ magnificent Comeback Special
in 1968 and the triumphant performances that followed in the 1970s. These
were the performances in which Elvis shook off the shackles of cinematic
mediocrity and reclaimed his position as the ultimate performer of the age.
Mark’s
performances of these timeless songs, backed by his world-class band, are
indistinguishable from the originals: abundantly energetic, meticulously
orchestrated, and brilliantly performed. You will leave the theatre
mesmerised - wondering what it was that just happened.

Iconic
star of stage and screen John Waters celebrates the songs of the British
Pop Invasion that changed modern music forever. The newest show from
John Waters, featuring Stewart D’Arrietta and the Chartbusters presents an
era of music that remains in the cellular memory of fans over generations.
From
the evocative strains of Where Do You Go to My Lovely, the
memory-dredging Waterloo Sunset and To Love Somebody, to the
infectious grooves of Itchycoo Park and the anthemic My
Generation, Waters and his band reprise and reinvent the classic hits.
When
commercial radio licences were not available in the 1960s UK, pop and rock
music was broadcast from Luxembourg, a clever move by the British record
industry to circumnavigate the laws of the day. With his six-piece band
and singers in brilliant voice, Waters recounts this loophole, anecdotes
and moving memories of the era, taking the audience through the time
continuum to songs that resound over decades.
The Beatles exploded
onto the scene followed by so many more, and the British Invasion truly
began, including The Moody Blues, The Kinks, The Who, and scores of
others. Their legendary songs live on stage as Radio Luxembourg are
a stirring and enjoyable experience. It’s impossible to keep still!

Music
Legends: The Simon and Garfunkel Story
Simon and Garfunkel are
the most well-known and beloved folk/rock duo of all time. The combination
of Simon’s poetic lyrics and stunning melodies with Garfunkel’s soaring
tenor, and their perfectly blended, intricate harmonies, provided the
perfect platform for some of the most memorable songs of all time. And
yet, while their music was transcendent, their relationship was fractured
and complicated. Like Lennon and McCartney, their musically complementary
differences caused impossible friction, and they parted ways in the early
70’s. Love of their music, however, never abated. Despite successful solo
careers, their reunion concerts and tours together have proven iconic,
drawing millions of listeners from across generations.
Music
Legends: The Simon and Garfunkel Story celebrates the entire career of
Simon & Garfunkel, their years together, their time apart, and their many
reunions. From the team that brought you The Billy Joel Story, The
Troubadours and The Paul McCartney Story, comes a thrilling
2-Act Celebration of some of the best songs ever written. Performed live
by the Music Legends band, this promises to be an incredibly joyful show,
not to be missed!

high school! Yes, Neil Sedaka hired a tux, borrowed his dad’s car
and drove Carole King to the prom!
They never wrote a song
together but continued to support and inspire each other as they worked
side by side in New York’s legendary hit factory, The Brill Building,
churning out hit after hit! (Neil’s million seller ‘Oh Carol’
was inspired by their years of puppy love).
Their hits include
‘Will You Love Me Tomorrow’, ‘Calendar Girl’, ‘I’m Into Something Good’,
‘Is This the Way to Amarillo?, ‘Natural Woman’, ‘Stupid Cupid’, ‘The
Locomotion’, ‘Breaking Up Is Hard to Do’, ‘Little Devil’, ‘It’s Too Late’,

Josephine Wants To Dance is
a hilarious musical about the importance of believing in yourself and
realising your dreams and... a dancing kangaroo! Based on the picture book
by Jackie French and Bruce Whatley, this delightful musical is a must-see!
Josephine
is a kangaroo who loves to dance. Her little brother, Joey, tells her
kangaroos don't dance, they hop - but Josephine continues to point her
toes and leap through the air. When a ballet troupe comes to the sleepy
town of Shaggy Gully, Josephine desperately wants to dance like the
ballerinas in pink tutus and silk ballet shoes.
On the day of the
first performance, the Ballet Company is in trouble. The prima ballerina
twists her ankle and the understudy has a splinter in her toe. Who can
dance the lead role? Josephine's talents are called upon to help save the
day. Can she do it, and more importantly, does it matter that she's a
kangaroo?

Experience
the wonder of Roy Orbison in this brilliant theatrical portrayal of
the man, his music, his voice, & his life.
You will find
yourself believing you are in his presence, transported back in time,
reliving the emotion of each of his songs & the stories of his life.
Mark
Shelley is simply brilliant in his characterisation of Roy. He not only
has the vocal range & tone to honour his songs, but he also has the
sensitivity & artistic ability to ‘be’ Roy.
Without
a doubt, this is the definitive portrayal of Roy Orbison - the man, his
music & his life.
'Only the Lonely', 'Running Scared',
'Sweet Dream Baby', 'Candy Man', 'Blue Bayou', 'In Dreams', 'Anything You
Want', 'Crying', 'Workin for the Man', 'Penny Arcade', 'Pretty Woman',
and many more.
The ‘Big O’ stood head & shoulders above the rest,
his vocals were peerless, his range extraordinary. His songs are unique,
impassioned & personal. Orbison, the man, was enigmatic, driven, shy,
funny, and quietly charismatic.
From his initial success in the
1960s to the resurgence of his career in the '80s, Roy Orbison’s voice
remained remarkable, communicating an emotional intensity not experienced
in popular music before or since. His songs conveyed vulnerability, love,
loss & fun. His performance was unique, simple & powerful.
Orbison’s
life was littered with personal tragedy, & career highs & lows. His
wonderful resurgence in popularity in the late '80s through his legendary ‘Black
& White Night’ Concert, his solo album ‘Mystery Girl’,
& the formation of the Supergroup ‘The Traveling Wilburys’ was a fitting
final chapter for such a creative genius.
