A Little Night Music

Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim

Book by Hugh Wheeler

Suggested by a Film by Ingmar Bergman

Nadine Garner, John O’May, Jackie Rees and Eddie Muliaumaseali’i lead a stellar ensemble cast as this delightful and at times, heartbreaking musical is reimagined by acclaimed Sondheim repertory company, Watch This.

It is midsummer in Sweden. On a magical night that smiles three times, an aging actress, a married virgin, a sex-starved divinity student and a buffoonish count are drawn into a tangled and hilarious web of love affairs. Featuring a lush score including A Weekend In The Country, Liaisons and the ever-popular Send In The Clowns, A Little Night Music is a romantic tour-de-force.

The Show Goes On

Bernadette Robinson celebrates some of the world's most publicly adored singers through their own words and legendary songs.

From Judy Garland to Edith Piaf, Shirley Bassey, Barbra Streisand, Maria Callas and more. Women who laid bare their lives for their audience, who loved and lost in dramatic style, who hungered for fame and were, perhaps, broken by it. Through it all they expressed themselves through music on their own terms.

Bernadette captures their vulnerabilities, humour, doubts and fears through the power of their song. Relive the highs and lows as this incredible performer brings each of the iconic singers to life once more.

In the runaway success of Songs For Nobodies, the unique acting and singing talents of Bernadette Robinson were embraced by audiences and critics alike. The Show Goes On is the latest production from this transformative performer, it will delight her fans and astound those who see her for the first time.

Directed by Richard Carroll, Co-Written by Bernadette Robinson and Richard Carroll.

Beautiful - The Carole King Musical

She fought her way into the record industry as a teenager and sold her first hit, Will You Love Me Tomorrow, when she was just seventeen. By the time she was twenty, she was writing number ones for the biggest acts in rock ‘n’ roll, including The Drifters, The Shirelles, Aretha Franklin and The Monkees.

But it wasn’t until her personal life began to crack that she finally managed to find her own voice and step into the spotlight.

BEAUTIFUL is the inspiring true story of King’s journey from school girl to superstar; from her relationship with husband and song-writing partner Gerry Goffin, their close friendship and playful rivalry with fellow song-writing duo Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil, to her remarkable rise to stardom.

Along the way, she became one of the most successful solo acts in popular music history, with countless classics such as (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman, I Feel The Earth Move, Take Good Care of My Baby, You’ve Got a Friend, So Far Away, One Fine Day, It’s Too Late, Tapestry and Locomotion.
