Starring 2025 Gold and Silver Logie winner Lynne McGranger, this feel-good production is more than just a Christmas show. It is a celebration of family, friendship and the grandparents who quietly keep Christmas traditions alive year after year. Whether you are planning a regional getaway or searching for the perfect festive theatre experience, this charming production is set to become one of Australia's must-see holiday events.
A Christmas Show That Celebrates Australia's Everyday Heroes
Grandparents are often the unsung heroes of Christmas. They organise the gifts, prepare the festive meals, accommodate everyone's dietary requests, welcome family members from near and far and somehow ensure Christmas Day unfolds with remarkable success.
Now, for the first time, these family legends are taking centre stage.
Christmas in The Grandparents Club follows four lovable grandparents as they attempt to survive impossible shopping lists, unexpected family dramas, perfectly timed arrivals, last-minute emergencies and the delicate balancing act of keeping everyone happy during the busiest time of the year.
Of course, nothing goes entirely to plan, especially when they decide to sneak away to support a friend's pre-Christmas celebration. The result is ninety minutes of laughter, memorable songs, heartwarming moments and plenty of festive surprises that audiences of every generation will recognise.
Lynne McGranger Brings Authentic Heart to the Production

Best known for her long-running television career and beloved by Australian audiences, McGranger brings warmth, humour and genuine emotion to the role of Liz, creating a performance that many grandparents will instantly relate to.
She is joined by an outstanding cast including Wayne Scott Kermond as Jimmy Bigelow, Leigh Archer as Maria and Andrew James as Jeff, with Patti Gilbert serving as understudy.
Together they create a wonderful blend of comedy, music and heartfelt storytelling that celebrates the joy, love and organised chaos of family life during Christmas.
Award-Winning Creative Talent Behind the Scenes
The production brings together some of Australia's most respected theatre professionals.
Award-winning writer Richard Tulloch delivers a script filled with warmth and humour, while multi-ARIA Award-winning composer John Field provides an uplifting original score. Helpmann Award-winning director Luke Joslin guides the production with his signature theatrical flair, supported by choreographer Leanne Halloran and a highly experienced creative team.
The result is a polished, entertaining production that perfectly balances comedy, music and genuine emotion.
A Perfect Reason to Explore Regional Australia
One of the greatest attractions of Christmas in The Grandparents Club is its extensive tour across Australia.
Instead of being limited to the major capital cities, the production visits numerous regional destinations, making it an ideal opportunity for travellers to combine live entertainment with discovering local attractions, restaurants, wineries and coastal escapes.
The tour visits Ettalong, Albury, Canberra, Wollongong, Wyong, Castle Hill, Mittagong, Taree, Port Macquarie, Coffs Harbour, Ballina, Tweed Heads, Camden, Burwood, Campbelltown, Wentworthville, Sutherland, Nowra, Penrith, Belrose and Mount Pritchard throughout New South Wales and the ACT.
Victorian audiences can enjoy the show in Shepparton, while Queensland performances take place in Redland, Noosa, Caloundra and Redcliffe.
For travellers planning a spring or early summer holiday, these performances provide the perfect excuse to experience both regional Australia and world-class live entertainment.
