Southbank Theatre, The Sumner
From the director of North by Northwest, Priscilla Queen of the Desert, and The Drowsy Chaperone comes a musical production like no other, based on Madeleine St John’s novel, The Women in Black.
In the haplessly dowdy, provincial city of 1950s Sydney, the Goode’s department store does as much as it can to give off an air of cosmopolitanism. Into this enclave of borrowed elegance steps Lesley, taking a holiday job in Ladies Frocks while she awaits her school leaving results. She hopes for university and the life beyond it, yet for a few weeks she will get a glimpse of another life, the working life of the impeccable Ladies in Black, who dress the salubrious North Shore housewives with taste and grace.
A celebration of glamour, gowns and growing up, Madeleine St John’s wry, ironic novel The Women in Black uncannily evoked the speech and manners of a vanished Australia, caught in a self-conscious yearning to be stylish and European.
Now, the light-hearted rhythm of St John’s prose has been perfectly transcribed into a sparkling new musical by songwriter Tim Finn (Split Enz, Poor Boy), and writer Carolyn Burns, fresh from her triumphant adaptation of Hitchcock’s North by Northwest. Former MTC Artistic Director Simon Phillips returns to direct a cast led by Christen O’Leary (Company, The Boy from Oz), Bobby Fox (Jersey Boys) and Naomi Price (The Voice Australia).

Playhouse, QPAC
Step through the doors of F.G. Goode’s department store and into a marvellous musical whirl of glitz and glamour with Ladies in Black. This world premiere adaptation of Madeleine St John’s 1993 novel, The Women in Black, is brought to life by internationally-acclaimed director Simon Phillips (Priscilla Queen of the Desert, Love Never Dies) with original music from superstar singer and musician, Tim Finn (Split Enz, Crowded House).
Sydney is crossing the threshold between the stuffy repression of the 1950s and the glorious liberation of the 1960s. Bright-eyed bookish school leaver Lisa is to join the sales staff in the city’s most prestigious department store. In that summer of innocence, a world of possibilities opens up as she befriends the colourful denizens of the women’s frocks department – including her new mentor, the exotic European Magda, mysterious mistress of the gowns.
With a dash of delicate comedy, Ladies in Black is a magical modern-day fairytale set in a city on the cusp of becoming cosmopolitan, and marks the triumphant return of musical theatre to Queensland Theatre Company’s stage.

The Showroom, Arts Centre Gold Coast
In a world exclusive, Australia’s fastest-rising cabaret star Naomi Price returns by popular demand with a double-bill of the little red company’s celebrated original pop culture cabarets Rumour Has It and Wrecking Ball.
The Matilda Award winning Rumour Has It sees Price channel global superstar Adele, belting out all of the Grammy winner’s biggest hits in a 70-minute tell-all that seesaws between MTV stadium concert and intimate bedroom lament.
“Rumour Has It is set to an incredible soundtrack of Adele’s genre-defying original songs – big, profound vignettes about great loves lost and found. It takes audiences on a really moving journey, full of big laughs and a tremendous amount of heart.” – Naomi Price
Wrecking Ball is inspired by pop’s most controversial and colourful headline-stealer Miley Cyrus, set in Nashville at the funeral of Miley’s alter-ego Hannah Montana.
“Wrecking Ball has been described as surprisingly emotional and compassionate; our treatment of Miley’s story is an unexpected one fuelled by an eclectic musical catalogue of dirty American country, gospel and blues.” – Naomi Price
For both shows, Price is backed by a big band of Australia’s most sought-after musicians, guaranteeing an unforgettable night of world-class entertainment. Wrecking Ball and Rumour Has It play back-to-back one night only in The Showroom at the Arts Centre Gold Coast.
“Incredible pipes, a top-class band, some shrewd writing and buckets of charm.” The Courier-Mail
“Price is a true cabaret artist, in the best sense of the word.” Greenroom
“Rumour Has It that Naomi Price is the next big thing in Australian cabaret.” Aussie Theatre
