Tickets Go on Sale for MURIEL'S WEDDING THE MUSICAL Next Week

Casual tickets become available to the general public on Monday 13 March 2017 at 9.00am for one of the most anticipated shows of 2017, the dazzling new musical version of one of Australia's great gifts to the world, Muriel's Wedding. Originally announced to run from 6 November to 30 December, the Australian-exclusive season at Sydney's Roslyn Packer Theatre has been extended and will now run until 20 January 2018.

Muriel Heslop is back! And this time she's singing.

For Muriel's Wedding The Musical, original writer-director PJ Hogan has updated his own screenplay to today, creating a stage show with all the irreverence, naughtiness and dark edge of the film. The new show features original music by award-winning singer-songwriters Kate Miller-Heidke and Keir Nuttall, alongside those fabulous ABBA numbers.

The dream theatre director/designer team of Simon Phillips and Gabriela Tylesova (Love Never Dies, Ladies in Black and STC's Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Dead) lead a stellar creative team.

Stuck in a dead-end life in Porpoise Spit, Muriel dreams of the perfect wedding - the white dress, the church, the attention. Unfortunately, there's one thing missing. A groom. Following her dreams to Sydney, Muriel ends up with everything she ever wanted - a man, a fortune and a million Twitter followers. That's when things start to go really wrong.

An exhaustive casting process is now underway for what promises to be STC's biggest show in years.

General Tickets go on sale at 9.00am on Monday 13 March 2017 via www.sydneytheatre.com.au, STC Box Office: 02 9250 1700, or in person.
