Dirty Rotten Scoundrels Musical
2026-05-22 - 2026-06-21 | Hayes Theatre, Elizabeth Bay
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels Musical

The scheme is set in motion.Prepare to be charmed, tricked, and utterly carried away — Dirty Rotten Scoundrels arrives at the Hayes in a sparkling new staging packed with flair, folly, and the most delectable duplicity.
Adapted from the beloved 1988 film with Michael Caine and Steve Martin, this Tony-nominated musical follows two master swindlers — the polished, calculating Lawrence Jamieson and the chaotic wildcard Freddy Benson — as they clash on the French Riviera in a high-stakes duel of deceit. Their chosen mark: a seemingly naïve American heiress. But in a landscape stitched together from fibs and fresh identities, nobody is quite who they claim to be.
With Jeffrey Lane’s razor-bright script and David Yazbek’s wickedly playful score (The Band’s Visit; Tootsie; The Full Monty), Scoundrels delivers a whirlwind of absurd antics, infectious rhythms, and satire with bite. Expect daring physical comedy, sleek sophistication, and performances gleaming like a Riviera sunset. This new Hayes production tips its hat to the pure theatrical thrill of make-believe.
Perfect for devotees of the film, fans of sharp-witted musical theatre, and anyone who secretly enjoys a silver-tongued scoundrel.

House of Rot: Grey Gardens
2026-06-23 - 2026-06-28 | Hayes Theatre, Elizabeth Bay
House of Rot: Grey Gardens Cabaret

Presented by Green Door Theatre Company in association with Hayes Theatre Co
Beauty fades. Madness endures.
Headlining the 2026 Winter Cabaret Season is the premiere of HOUSE OF ROT: GREY GARDENS, featuring the extraordinary talents of Paul Capsis (Cabaret) and Adam Noviello (Hedwig and the Angry Inch).
Loosely, dangerously inspired by the documentary Grey Gardens, the show delves into the world of Big and Little Edie—two eccentric recluses living in a house slowly succumbing to decay.
Under the vision of director Dino Dimitriadis and musical director Victoria Falconer, HOUSE OF ROT is a cabaret ritual: part unholy communion, part elegy in heels.
Through a mix of original compositions and inventive reimaginings of familiar songs—both contemporary and classic—Capsis and Noviello explore legacy, survival, and the hidden spaces we inherit when no one is watching. A story of living within collapse, and of grief and fury gnawing at the floorboards if left unchecked.

Pride & Prejudice (sort of)

By Isobel McArthur after Jane Austen

The Five-Star West End Hit

Music, mischief, and mayhem.
After its acclaimed London run, where it won the Olivier Award for Best Comedy, Pride and Prejudice (sort of) offers a bold and inventive take on Jane Austen’s beloved tale of love and social intrigue. With men, money, and microphones all up for grabs, this irreverent yet affectionate adaptation turns the stakes of romance up to the max.

Making its Sydney debut, five dynamic women bring Austen’s world of love, class, and chaos vividly to life. Packed with heart, humour, and unstoppable energy, they deliver a fresh, modern twist on one of literature’s most cherished classics.

Rigoletto - Opera
2026-07-21 - 2026-08-21 | Sydney Opera House, Sydney
Rigoletto – Opera by Verdi

A father’s curse, a daughter’s destiny. When innocence is lost, revenge becomes the only prayer.
In the Duke’s notorious soirées, one man’s words shimmer with a dark allure. Amid glamorous women and shady gangsters, Rigoletto serves his master with clever deflection and guarded eyes.
From the very beginning, Verdi knew he had a masterpiece. The tale is rich with intrigue: royalty, loyalty, passion, and vengeance.
And the music? It’s unforgettable. So full of irresistible melodies that Verdi demanded absolute secrecy from the premiere cast—his tenor was forbidden even to whistle the iconic “La donna è mobile” outside rehearsals. Yet by the morning after its debut, that tune echoed through the streets, securing its place in history.
Elijah Moshinsky’s beloved production of Rigoletto returns to the Sydney Opera House, dazzling with La Dolce Vita-inspired glamour, a scene-stealing Fiat 500, and a revolving, dollhouse-style set that brings cinematic detail to every moment.
