LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS, the dark and twisted rock musical about love, desire and a mysterious pot plant thrilled the opening night audience at Hayes Theatre.

The Sydney's Theatre community gathered at the 2015 SYDNEY THEATRE AWARDS tonight for the 11th annual celebration of the best of the past year's work as judged by The Sydney Reviewers.

Nominations were announced today for the Sydney Theatre Awards for 2015, which will be presented at a gala ceremony on Monday January 18, 2016 at 6pm at the Paddington RSL.

The multi-award winning Australian musical Miracle City continues to blaze new ground for Australian music theatre, by debuting at number 8 in the Australian iTunes Soundtracks Charts.

The Program Launch for the second half of 2015 shows that the Independent Music Theatre team comprising Luckiest Productions (David Campbell, Lisa Campbell and Richard Carroll), Neglected Musicals (Michelle Guthrie), and Neil Gooding Productions, the driving force behind Hayes Theatre Company, have no intention of slowing down are staying true to their vision to provide a permanent home for small-scale musical theatre and cabaret.

The one act, 90 minute, MIRACLE CITY is a humorous jab at television evangelists whilst exploring humanity's darker side and exposing the truths beneath the bright shiny orchestrated images. It provides an enjoyable evening of laughs, strong singing and some plot twists which ensure that the musical is still relevant and relatable to 2014 audiences as it was in 1996.

The next production to open at Hayes Theatre Co will be a brand new production of Nick Enright and Max Lambert's musical Miracle City presented by Luckiest Productions in association with Hayes Theatre Co from today, October 17 - November 16 2014.
