PENSION CARD HOLDERS $47.00

CHILD $33.00


There is no question; JOHN WILLIAMSON is a musical icon of

Australia. His name is firmly cemented in the culture and fabric of

the country he loves. His impressive career now spans more than

forty five years and he has survived and soared in the entertainment

industry whilst most of his ‘colleagues’ have not.

To his credit are unofficial anthems, tributes to legends and unsung

heroes and tender ballads that have captured the spirit of the

nation in song unlike any other. His honest and passionate songs are

synonymous with the country that inspires him and connect him with

his countrymen regardless of age, sex or creed. He is honest and

open with all he does.

Add to this his ability to deliver unforgettable live concert

experiences that combine the perfect blend of humour, romance and

campfire stories woven together by his music. You can understand

why he is one of the most in-demand live performers in Australia.

You can call him what you want, Mallee Boy, True Blue or just plain

Fair Dinkum; but there is no denying that after more than forty years in

the music industry, John Williamson is truly an Australian icon.

A Monkey Baa Theatre Company Production

Based on the book by Li Cunxin

Adapted by Eva Di Cesare, Sandra Eldridge and Tim McGarry

The Peasant PrinceM O N K E Y B A A T H E A T R E C O M P A N Y

Li Cunxin’s iconic autobiography MAO’S LAST DANCER was first

published as a children’s picture book, THE PEASANT PRINCE. Monkey

Baa is honoured to be adapting this story onto the stage.

Li, a 10-year old peasant boy, is plucked from his village in

rural China and sent to a ballet academy in the big city. He

leaves everything and everyone he knows, including his beloved

parents. Over years of gruelling training and determination, this

boy transforms from an impoverished peasant to a giant of the

international dance scene. Li’s courage, resilience and unwavering

hope for a better life makes THE PEASANT PRINCE a story to ignite

our own aspirations to be the best person we can be.

This is a perfect production to explore intercultural experiences,

texts from other countries and times and stories exploring peoples

and cultures of Asia, and curriculum links to English, The Arts and

Social Sciences. Audiences will be captivated by this inspiring story.

Definitely not to be missed!

Martha Davis and The MotelsF L E M I N G A R T I S T S

Direct from the U.S.

Fresh from their sold-out show in LA, Martha Davis and The Motels

return to Australia.

Described by Los Angeles Times writer Robert Hilburn as “the most

charismatic female performer in rock” Martha is renowned for her

smoky, powerful voice and as a leading light of the MTV era with her

sultry, edgy video clips.

This review of Martha Davis and the band’s return to Australia, in

March of 2014, more than 20 years after the band last played there,

has shown Hilburn’s words to be as true today as when Martha

Davis and The Motels first conquered the Sunset Strip and the new

wave scene.

Whether you were there when The Motels first burst onto the music

scene, or are just discovering them now, 2014 became a year of

rediscovery for this iconic artist, which saw more Motels shows than

in any year since 1985.

Martha Davis and the Motels will bring their rock ‘n’ roll attitude to

songs from the band’s heyday such ‘Total Control’, ’Only The Lonely’

and ‘Don’t Tell Me The Time’ as well as soulful new material. Come

and join Martha Davis and the Motels on the emotional roller-

coaster and rejoice that Martha’s musical journey has brought her

back to the country of her greatest success.

Mashing puckish pranking and wide-eyed wonder, Tasmania’s own

Terrapin Puppet Theatre combines with Melbourne Theatre Company

for this quirky little fable for ages eight to ancient.

Across a dry and dusty desert two tinkers, Clyde and Horse, drag an

enormous egg. They can’t remember how long they’ve been dragging

it, or why they’ve been dragging it, or where they are dragging it to.

All they know is that it’s really important. Life on their big bald egg

of a planet depends upon it. So there’s nothing to be done but to go

on! Let’s tug this great big googy into the future. And who knows?

Maybe something wonderful will hatch!

A tale of two forgetful fellows yoked to a yoke. Silly and funny and a

little bit cracked, Egg is filled with clowning, puppetry, hope and the

promise of renewal.

ALWAYS… PATSY CLINE is more than a tribute to the legendary

country singer who died tragically at age 30 in a plane crash in

1963. The show is based on a true story about Cline’s friendship

with a fan from Houston named Louise Seger, who befriended the

star in a Texas honky-tonk in l961, and continued a correspondence

with Cline until her death. The musical play, complete with down

home country humour, true emotion and even some audience

participation, includes 27 of Patsy’s unforgettable hits such as Crazy,

I Fall to Pieces, Sweet Dreamsand Walking After Midnight. The show’s

title was inspired by Cline’s letters to Seger, which were consistently

signed “Love ALWAYS…Patsy Cline.”

States, including a successful run off Broadway. It has been one

of the most produced musicals in America according to American

Theatre Magazine.
