THE CAT IN THE HAT & More Set for QPAC in September

Looking for something fun to do with the kids these September School Holidays? Then look no further than the stages of the Queensland Performing Arts Centre (QPAC).

With everything from hit musicals, a play featuring a favourite story book character, to pop stars, mass choirs and brass bands, QPAC really has something to suit all ages and stages when school is out later this month.

A great family night out will be Brisbane Sings on Saturday 21 September. Don't miss the chance to experience the powerful sound of 500 singers on stage in QPAC's Concert Hall performing some of the world's most popular songs including Freddy Mercury's Bohemian Rhapsody, Hallelujah Chorus, and Do you Hear the People Sing from Les Miserables.

Fans of The Voice will be delighted if you take them to see Harrison Craig winner of The Voice 2013 at QPAC for one night only as part of his 'More Than A Dream' national tour on Friday 27 September.

Harrison will be joined by John Foreman (musical maestro for Australian Idol) as musical director and emcee and popular recording artistBobby Fox (star of Jersey Boys and Hot Shoe Shuffle) as support act. This will be a must-see concert with Brisbane the first stop of the national tour.

Young children will be counting the sleeps till The Cat in the Hat brings his special fun to QPAC's Playhouse from 1 to 5 October. Based on the all-time favourite book by Dr. Seuss, The Cat in the Hat is now a magically witty play for children produced by The National Theatre of Great Britain (producer of the award winning play War Horse).

To round off the school holiday fun, why not bring the kids along to enjoy BRASSFEST from 5 to 6 October. Featuring Australia's top brass bands and soloists in performance and competition, BRASSFEST will provide hours of themed entertainment at QPAC, including ticketed Concert Hall evening performances and an exciting program of FREE Family Entertainment at QPAC's Cascade Court on the first day of the event (Saturday 5 October).

And the Number 1 Party Musical GREASE continues to be the word in Brisbane with performances on during the school holidays untilSunday 6 October in a strictly limited season.
