There’s nowhere better to experience a tale of romance and comedic mayhem than Handa Opera on Sydney Harbour. Raise a glass of something bubbly as the sun sets over the water and grab a bite at one of the pop-up restaurants. Then take your seat for an unforgettable night of song and dance, with fireworks at every performance.
One of the finest Broadway musicals ever written explodes to life in a brand-new production made for our spectacular harbour-side stage! Escape to Manhattan in the 1950s: a colourful, larger-than-life world of showgirls and gangsters, set against the backdrop of Sydney’s glittering harbour.
High-roller Sky Masterson is looking to win big, but everything changes when he takes a gamble on Sister Sarah Brown, a missionary whose quest to save New York isn’t going quite to plan. At the same time, Miss Adelaide is hoping her engagement of 14 years might finally result in a wedding, but her fiancée, Nathan, has half the city’s gamblers breathing down his neck.
This is musical theatre at its show-stopping best. The score is packed with huge hits, including ‘Luck Be a Lady’ ‘Sit Down You’re Rockin’ the Boat’ ‘Adelaide’s Lament’ and ‘I’ve Never Been in Love Before’. Expect big laughs and even bigger song and dance numbers in this energetic new staging.
