SYDNEY THE FIRST TO RE-OPEN MUSICAL STAGE DOORS

The curtains are joyfully going up again at theatres across Sydney, with the start of a blockbuster run of Australian premiere, world-class musicals.

Leading the charge is PIPPIN, which will be the first large-scale musical to return to Australian stages since theatres closed in March due to COVID-19. It will play exclusively at The Star from 24 November.

A week later, Disney’s Frozen will light up the Capitol Theatre following months of intense preparations behind the scenes, including the creation of 500 costumes and 150 wigs by more than 90 Sydney-based artisans.

Speaking to Nine News in this exclusive story, Frozen’s Costume Supervisor Janet Hine said: “We were at one point the only show still working in the world.”

The Australian premiere in Sydney will be the first time Frozen has been staged outside the USA.

Minister for Jobs, Investment, Tourism and Western Sydney Stuart Ayres told Nine News: “It’s going to be Australians coming through stage doors for theatres before anyone else around the globe.”

Rounding out Sydney’s summer of blockbuster musicals, the Australian premiere of one of the most successful musicals of the decade, Hamilton, will be presented at the Sydney Lyric Theatre from March 2021.

For all live performances, businesses, residents and visitors must follow the latest NSW Health advice, available at nsw.gov.au/covid-19. The Sydney Lyric Theatre and Capitol Theatre will operate in accordance with their COVID Safety Plans, which are available on their websites.
