Rupert the Musical Double Passes

Rupert the Musical Double Passes

Thanks to the Melbourne Theatre Company here is your chance to win 2 x double passes to Rupert the Musical at the Theatre Royal.

Tickets are for Wednesday 26th November at 7pm.


On Thursday 29 August 2013 the Melbourne Theatre Company presented the World Premiere of Rupert, David Williamson's take on the greatest media mogul of all time, which enjoyed a sell-out season and critical acclaim. The production then had its USA premiere at The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, Washington, where it received standing ovations.


Rupert is now heading to Sydney for an exclusive premiere season at Sydney's Theatre Royal opening on Saturday 29 November 2014 for a strictly limited four week season. This Sydney season precedes a transfer to London's West End in 2015.


With 2 actors playing the roles of Older and Younger Rupert and featuring a 6 strong ensemble cast in a myriad of over 60 roles, Rupert is a timely, theatrically inventive, often hilarious, cabaret infused recounting of the life and times of this influential yet elusive man who has shaped our world. Charting his stellar rise to the top, Rupert tap dances (sometimes literally) his way through his first newspaper acquisitions, discoes toward his American breakthrough, shares a fiery
flamenco with Margaret Thatcher, and charms some of the most colourful characters of the 20th century, including Tony Blair, Ronald Reagan and Wendi Deng. But what happens when the man behind the news suddenly becomes the news?
