Pasek and Paul's DOGFIGHT Opens in Australia Tonight
The Hayes Theatre Company announces Pasek and Paul's DOGFIGHT, opening tonight, May 1, through May 31.
With a book by Peter Duchan and music and lyrics by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul (A Christmas Story, Smash), this Off-Broadway critical and audience favourite is a great addition to Sydney's booming independent musical theatre.
Dogfight is about three young men in 1963, and their final night of debauchery before their deployment to Vietnam. But when one of the young men meets Rose, a waitress, the rules of the night change significantly.
The Australian premiere cast will feature Johanna Allen (Wicked), Hilary Cole (Miracle City), Toby Francis (Truth, Beauty, and a Picture of You), Emily Havea (NIDA'sThe Light in the Piazza), Haydan Hawkins (Carrie), Luigi Lucente (The Rocky Horror Show), Kyle Sapsford (The Ten Tenors), Mark Simpson (Forbidden Broadway), Jack Van Staveren (WAAPA's Hair) and Rowan Witt (Into the Woods).
Musical direction will be by Isaac Hayward, choreography by Nathan M Wright, and lighting design by Ross Graham. Below, see Neil Gooding talk about the show!
Dogfight will run at Sydney's Hayes Theatre from 1 - 31 May 2015. For bookings and more information visit www.hayestheatre.com.au.
