Cast Announced for Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane - Love Actually? The Musical Parody
Following extensive auditions across Australia, the Off-Broadway smash hit, Love Actually? The Musical Parody is tinsel-thrilled to announce three separate local casts for Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane's festive seasons.
That's three Kiera Knightleys, three Colin Firths, three Hugh Grants…the cast is overflowing with talent, in a glorious laugh-out loud parody of the infamous Christmas movie.
With cast members including internationally touring artists, mainstage musical theatre performers, stand up comedians, skilled impressionists and TV stars, the Love Actually? The Musical Parody cast is stacked in more ways than one.
Returning to Melbourne's Athenaeum Theatre from 5 December, the must-see festive show will present its NSW premiere at Sydney's Darling Quarter Theatre from 27 November, with a Queensland premiere season playing at Brisbane Showgrounds from 11 December.
Tickets are moving fast via loveactuallymusicalparody.com, with seats in all cities starting at just $69^.
"This show is like Christmas dinner after a few too many champagnes - loud, ridiculous, and way too much fun. Whether you're obsessed with Love Actually, love to hate it, or just want some musical theatre laughs, Love Actually? The Musical Parody is pure festive says Associate Producer Ashley Tickell.
Following nine quirky couples seeking love across the pond, the cheeky show delivers all the awkward meet-cutes, over-the-top grand gestures, and side splitting moments that fans crave.
