Once upon a time, many Premiers ago, when the world was new and the only cross worth knowing was far from Christian, Sydney was abuzz with glamour and debauchery, which Hidden Sydney transports audiences back to in a spectacular promenade performance. A partnership between Working Management and Live Ideas, Hidden Sydney is a once-in-a-lifetime piece featuring a range of Australian performers, emerging and established, recreating a typical evening on Kings Cross in its heyday.
Working Management in association with Hayes Theatre Co is thrilled to announce the first Sydney professional production of Jerry Herman's MACK AND MABEL, which will play a strictly limited season at Hayes Theatre Co from November 18.

Hairspray. The Craft. Jawbreaker. Mean Girls. Can't Hardly Wait. Buffy. We would have none of these without Heathers. The flop-turned-cult-phenomenon film starring Winona Ryder and Christian Slater in 1988 was a black comedy that took on every young-adult issue and shot it in the face. It's perfect fodder for a musical unlike any you've ever witnessed before, rightfully making its return to Sydney after touring the nation, to shock and shine at the Sydney Opera House. We've had a few cast changes since the Australian premiere at Hayes Theatre - don't worry they're all still alive, most of them just bailed to become Queens of a new musical - and the latest cast have really sensationalised the sass, camped it up like Christmas and made the vocals so very! If you missed it last time, it's a must-see moxie-fest. If you did catch it last time, then you definitely have to get back and see how it takes on the big stage with new choreography, design and drama!
