Elvis The Legendary Performer

Friday 29 November 7:30pm                                                                   

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.

John Waters - Radio Luxembourg

Friday 21 February 8:00pm                                                                   

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!

The Simon and Garfunkel Story

Saturday 8 March 8:00pm                                                                   

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!

Josephine Wants to Dance

Thursday 1 May 10:30am & 12:30pm                                                                   

She's bold. She's bouncy. She's back!

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?

“A complete delight.” - Jo Litson, Daily Telegraph

"Wonderfully whimsical and utterly inspiring...a must-see for anyone with a sense of wonder.” - Jade Kops, Broadway World

The Roy Orbison Story

Sunday 11 May 2:00pm                                                                   

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 The Legendary Performer

Friday 29 November 7:30pm                                                                   

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.

John Waters - Radio Luxembourg

Friday 21 February 8:00pm                                                                   

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!

The Simon and Garfunkel Story

Saturday 8 March 8:00pm                                                                   

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!

Josephine Wants to Dance

Thursday 1 May 10:30am & 12:30pm                                                                   

She's bold. She's bouncy. She's back!

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?

“A complete delight.” - Jo Litson, Daily Telegraph

"Wonderfully whimsical and utterly inspiring...a must-see for anyone with a sense of wonder.” - Jade Kops, Broadway World

The Roy Orbison Story

Sunday 11 May 2:00pm                                                                   

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.
