Murder For Two
2025-12-03 - 2025-12-23 | Hayes Theatre, Elizabeth Bay
Murder, Mistletoe, and Mayhem: A Killer Christmas Returns
It’s beginning to look a lot like… murder! After slaying audiences across the country – from its breakout seasons at the Hayes in 2023 to a killer run at Adelaide Cabaret Festival and beyond – the musical-comedy hit Murder For Two is back in 2025 with a brand-new Christmas Edition. And this time, the stockings aren’t the only things getting stuffed.
Back at the piano (and playing literally everyone in the room) are the show’s original partners in crime: Maverick Newman – hailed by The Sydney Morning Herald as “a rocketship, shedding and shifting characters as he soars towards the stratosphere” – and musical-comedy dynamo Gabbi Bolt (Spicks & Specks, Ratatouille the TikTok Musical). Together, they deliver a festive whodunnit packed with sharp wit, musical brilliance, and just enough yuletide chaos to keep you guessing who’s next on the naughty list.
Directed by Hayes Co-Artistic Director Richard Carroll (Calamity Jane, Godspell), Murder For Two: Christmas Edition turns the classic murder mystery inside out – and wraps it in tinsel. Expect quick-fire character swaps, piano duels, candy-cane conspiracies, and a blizzard of bad behaviour.
It’s part musical, part farce, part festive crime spree – and 100% holiday havoc. So pour yourself a stiff eggnog, hang your wreaths with care, and prepare for a show that proves murder is the reason for the season.

Gutenberg! The Musical!
2026-04-10 - 2026-05-10 | Hayes Theatre, Elizabeth Bay
Gutenberg! The Musical!
Meet Bud and Doug. Tonight could change everything for them.
From the team behind Beetlejuice: The Musical comes the Broadway sensation Gutenberg! The Musical! – a gleefully chaotic love letter to the dreamers of theatre and the art form itself. It’s a riotous, sharply silly tale about friendship, ambition, and the kind of stubborn optimism that might just reshape the world, or at least haul you all the way to Broadway.
Bud and Doug are inseparable companions. Together, they’ve crafted a colossal musical about Johannes Gutenberg (yes, the printing-press pioneer) complete with a massive cast and lavish spectacle. After pouring their souls into it, they’re unveiling the whole extravaganza in a single backer’s audition, performing every role themselves with nothing but a mountain of baseball caps, explosive enthusiasm, and the tireless support of their pianist, Charles. Monks, villagers, tavern girls, or essential characters like “Friend of Gutenberg” and “Another Woman” – no part is too odd, too earnest, or too improvised for these two.
Richard Carroll (Murder For Two, The Pirates of Penzance) helms Australia’s first staging of Gutenberg! since its record-breaking Broadway run in 2023–24. Sydney Theatre Award winners Stephen Anderson (Titanique) and Ryan Gonzalez (In The Heights) lead this jubilantly irreverent salute to creativity, tenacity, and the pure delight of putting on a show nobody asked for but everyone ends up loving.

John Farnham – King of Pop, national icon, and the voice of a generation. But in 1986, he was a cash-strapped, middle-aged father navigating the Australian rock scene, and his future could have gone very differently.
