May 2026 – Sweet Charity

Sweet Charity explores the turbulent love life of Charity Hope Valentine, a hopelessly romantic dance hall hostess in New York City in the 1960’s. With a score by Cy Coleman, a hilarious book by Neil Simon, and original choreography by Bob Fosse, Charity’s journey is marked by some of the best-loved songs and most iconic dance numbers (Big Spender, Rich Man’s Frug, Rhythm of Life) in Broadway history.

Reefer Madness

13 – 22 November 2026 at the Pioneer Theatre.

Inspired by the original 1936 propaganda film of the same name, this raucous musical comedy takes a tongue-in-cheek look at the hysteria caused when clean-cut kids fall prey to marijuana, leading them on a hysterical downward spiral. With a book by Kevin Murphy (Heathers the Musical), Reefer Madness is a highly stylised and satirical political commentary that will leave you wanting more.

*Content Warning: Reefer Madness contains depictions of drug use, sex, exaggerated violence and implied nudity. Viewer discretion is advised for patrons under 15 years.

Production Team:

Co-Directors – Max Waterson & Kevin Rodrigueza

Musical Director – David Lang

Choreographer – Lauren Oxenham
