ABOUT THE SHOW

Over the past few months, the creative team behind the much-loved Ladies in Black have been busy working on a new show, and now you’re invited to a sneak preview!

Collaborating again for the first time since the smash-hit musical that brought MTC audiences to their feet in 2015, the award-winning team of Carolyn Burns, Tim Finn and Simon Phillips are looking forward to sharing their latest work with an audience, in a stripped-back, sneak-peek performance.

Directed by Simon Phillips and accompanied by a piano onstage, the cast of three will read and perform tunes from this yet-to-be revealed show, with the possibility of a surprise or two. Featuring performances from Alison Bell, Simon Gleeson and Chris Ryan, this strictly limited season will provide a tantalising teaser, as well as a rare insight into the development of a new Australian work.

Piano provided by Yamaha Music Australia, a proud Season Partner of MTC.

MTC's Summer Series is supported by Genovese
