Iconic
British rock band, Pink Floyd left an indelible mark on the world,

Written by
award-winning Melbourne playwright, Kieran Carroll and directed by
acclaimed comedian, director and writer Ross Daniels, Dahlin! It’s The
Jeanne Little Show is a portrait of one of Australia’s most loved
entertainers, Gold Logie winner, Jeanne Little.
Jeanne Little rose
to prominence in 1974 when she began regular appearances on The Mike
Walsh Show. After becoming the most popular woman on Australian
television in the 1970s, Jeanne’s talents and career blossomed in numerous
ways. From appearances on numerous TV shows, to starring in the hit
musical Jerry Girls; singing for Princess Diana and Prince Charles
at the Sydney Opera House, to worldwide touring shows playing Marlene
Dietrich and Marilyn Monroe, Jeanne Little’s contribution to Australian
entertainment is immeasurable.
Dahlin! It’s The Jeanne Little
Show performed with great aplomb by Melbourne performer Caroline
Ferguson. The production traces Jeanne’s humble beginnings: raised by a
single mum, her youthful years in London, her successful and loving
marriage to interior designer, Barry Little, the many famous people she
met along the way and her attempts to be both mother and TV star. The
stories are wrapped in warmth, with Jeanne’s own brand of zany and
irrepressible humour always present. This high-energy and fantastically
funny show is the story of an Australian icon who did things her way.
Dahlin!
It’s The Jeanne Little Show is a wonderful show for all. It will
bring a smile, a laugh and joy to everyone.

great...Dahlin! is a touching tribute to Jeanne Little” - My

Warragul Theatre Company
proudly presents Jesus Christ Superstar.
Jesus Christ
Superstar is a sung-through rock opera that recounts the last week of
Jesus Christ's life, focusing on the personal and political conflicts
between Jesus, his disciples, the Jewish leadership, and the Roman
authorities.
Told from the sympathetic perspective of Judas
Iscariot, the plot follows Judas's growing concerns about Jesus's movement
losing its focus and becoming a threat to Rome, ultimately leading him to
betray Jesus for silver.
The narrative explores Jesus's struggles
with his impending fate, his relationship with Mary Magdalene, and ends
with his betrayal, trial before Pontius Pilate and King Herod's
crucifixion, and the final moments of his followers.

For

Mozart reveals Don Giovanni’s fate. An earth-shattering chord from the
orchestra signals the gates of hell clanging open. The scoundrel’s
debauched days are at an end.

bands of all time and celebrate 60 years of Pink Floyd's enduring legacy.
Iconic
British rock band, Pink Floyd left an indelible mark on the world,
inspiring generations with their ground-breaking soundscapes and
thought-provoking lyrics. 2025 marks the diamond anniversary of Pink

thing to a genuine Floyd experience"" (Bendigo Weekly), "Australia’s

Written by
award-winning Melbourne playwright, Kieran Carroll and directed by
acclaimed comedian, director and writer Ross Daniels, Dahlin! It’s The
Jeanne Little Show is a portrait of one of Australia’s most loved
entertainers, Gold Logie winner, Jeanne Little.
Jeanne Little rose
to prominence in 1974 when she began regular appearances on The Mike
Walsh Show. After becoming the most popular woman on Australian
television in the 1970s, Jeanne’s talents and career blossomed in numerous
ways. From appearances on numerous TV shows, to starring in the hit
musical Jerry Girls; singing for Princess Diana and Prince Charles
at the Sydney Opera House, to worldwide touring shows playing Marlene
Dietrich and Marilyn Monroe, Jeanne Little’s contribution to Australian
entertainment is immeasurable.
Dahlin! It’s The Jeanne Little
Show performed with great aplomb by Melbourne performer Caroline
Ferguson. The production traces Jeanne’s humble beginnings: raised by a
single mum, her youthful years in London, her successful and loving
marriage to interior designer, Barry Little, the many famous people she
met along the way and her attempts to be both mother and TV star. The
stories are wrapped in warmth, with Jeanne’s own brand of zany and
irrepressible humour always present. This high-energy and fantastically
funny show is the story of an Australian icon who did things her way.
Dahlin!
It’s The Jeanne Little Show is a wonderful show for all. It will
bring a smile, a laugh and joy to everyone.
“Ferguson is
great...Dahlin! is a touching tribute to Jeanne Little” - My

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.
The
show’s first set will see the band performing the Hotel California album
in its entirety, followed by the second set of all the other Eagles
classic hits.
Renowned for their pitch-perfect harmonies and
masterful musicianship, The Australian Eagles Show is fronted by the
supremely talented Michael Thompson and Shayne Browne.
Backed by a powerhouse five-piece band, the show brings to life the
legendary sounds that have captivated audiences for five decades.
Audiences
can expect faithful recreations of timeless classics like 'Desperado',
'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
Australian Eagles Show doesn’t just perform the songs — they channel
the spirit of the original band, delivering an authentic concert
experience that continues to wow fans across Australia and beyond.
Whether
you're a lifelong fan or discovering the Eagles for the first time, this
50th-anniversary celebration of Hotel California is an
unforgettable night of music and nostalgia.

Warragul Theatre Company
proudly presents Jesus Christ Superstar.
Jesus Christ
Superstar is a sung-through rock opera that recounts the last week of
Jesus Christ's life, focusing on the personal and political conflicts
between Jesus, his disciples, the Jewish leadership, and the Roman
authorities.
Told from the sympathetic perspective of Judas
Iscariot, the plot follows Judas's growing concerns about Jesus's movement
losing its focus and becoming a threat to Rome, ultimately leading him to
betray Jesus for silver.
The narrative explores Jesus's struggles
with his impending fate, his relationship with Mary Magdalene, and ends
with his betrayal, trial before Pontius Pilate and King Herod's
crucifixion, and the final moments of his followers.

You’ve
never been to a Christmas party quite like this one! Slap on a Santa hat
and strap yourself in for a swinging sleigh ride with Australia’s
favourite cabaret duo!
Melissa Langton and Mark Jones are
known for their powerhouse vocals, tight harmonies and quirky humour but
every year when Christmas rolls around they have to admit there’s nothing
they love more than a song about chestnuts roasting on an open fire!
There’ll
be Classic Carols, Christmas Cracker Jokes, a Kris Kringle Quiz, a Santa
Sack full of Giveaways - and it wouldn’t be Christmas without a good old
singalong round the Steinway!!
Songs include 'Santa Baby', 'Away in
a Manger', 'I Saw Mummy Kissing Santa Claus', 'Silent Night', 'Have
Yourself a Merry Little Christmas', and (almost inevitably) 'Santa Claus
Is Coming to Town'!
Arranged and Musically Directed by Mark
Jones.
