Good News Photos - Broadway

In 2020, pre-Covid, Sydney Theatre Company staged NO PAY? NO WAY!, Marieke Hardy’s adaptation of Dario Fo and Franca Rame’s political farce SOTTO PAGA! NON SI PAGA!  This production, directed by Sarah Giles has been given an encore season with new performers stepping into three of the five roles, resulting in an even more captivating and comical evening of theatre that resonates even louder in the current economic climate.

Broadway fans had plenty of reasons to celebrate this year, with dozens of shows having opened since January, hundreds of actors having made their debuts, and many more having returned to the stage for critically acclaimed performances. Not all news was good though, as we also suffered a loss of an incredible amount of talent. Below, BroadwayWorld sends a fond farewell to those who passed away in 2014.
