Melbourne Theatre Company acknowledges the Boon Wurrung and Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung peoples of the Kulin Nation, the traditional custodians of the land on which we work, create and gather. We pay our respects to all First Nations people, their Elders past and present, and their enduring connections to Country, knowledge and stories. As a Company we remain committed to the invitation of the Uluru Statement from the Heart and its call for voice, truth and treaty.

The Heartbreak Choir in rehearsals

Join The Heartbreak Choir cast and creative team in the rehearsal room and get a sneak peek of this joyous and uplifting celebration of music, friendship and community.

After a two-year delay, the time has come for Aidan Fennessy’s The Heartbreak Choir to light up the stage. We speak to the cast – Maude Davey, Carita Farrer Spencer, Ratidzo Mambo, William McInnes, Emily Milledge, Louise Siversen and Julian Weeks – Director Peter Houghton and Musical Director Vicky Jacobs during rehearsals about what this play means to them and why it will make you want to sing out loud.
