PRODUCTION NEWS
Our show season for 2027 has officially been announced and these three amazing productions will be stepping onto the theatre stage.
Set against the backdrop of the 1984 miners’ strike in Northern England, Billy Elliot the Musical is a powerful and uplifting story about courage, family and daring to follow your dreams.
Eleven-year-old Billy is expected to learn boxing, but when he accidentally discovers a ballet class, he finds a passion and talent that could change his life forever. With the support of his determined dance teacher, Billy must overcome prejudice, financial hardship and the expectations of his family and community to pursue an extraordinary opportunity.
Featuring music by Elton John, with a book and lyrics by Lee Hall, Billy Elliot the Musical combines spectacular dancing, humour and heart with a deeply moving story about a boy who refuses to let where he comes from determine where he can go.
AUDITIONS FOR BILLY ELLIOT WILL BE HELD AT THE END OF NOVEMBER.

It’s a dark and stormy night, and our cast of oddball characters has been invited to a very unusual dinner party. Each of the guests has an alias, the butler offers a variety of weapons, and the host is, well, dead.
So whodunit?
Join the iconic oddballs known as Scarlet, Plum, White, Green, Peacock and Mustard as they race to find the murderer in Boddy Manor before the body count stacks up. Based on the cult classic film and the popular board game, Clue is a madcap comedy that will keep you guessing until the final twist.
Coming to Parkes August 2027
Director: Ruth Virtue
THE ADDAMS FAMILY, a comical (junior musical) feast that embraces the wackiness in every family, features an original story and a dilemma that’s every father’s nightmare: Wednesday Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, has grown up and fallen in love with a sweet, smart young man from a respectable family, a man her parents have never met. And if that wasn’t upsetting enough, Wednesday confides in her father and begs him not to tell her mother.
Now, Gomez Addams must do something he’s never done before, keep a secret from his beloved wife, Morticia. Everything will change for the whole family on the fateful night they host a dinner for Wednesday’s “normal” boyfriend and his parents.
Coming to Parkes November 2027
