★★★★ “Big-hearted, home-grown musical theatre.” - The Age
From the comedic genius of Working Dog’s Tom Gleisner, co-creator of Aussie classics The Castle, Frontline, The Dish and Utopia, comes Bloom.
Bloom was the hottest ticket at Melbourne Theatre Company in 2023 when it premiered to sold-out houses. Now having its Sydney premiere, Bloom features icons Christie Whelan Browne (Muriel's Wedding The Musical) and John Waters (Offspring), along with returning cast members Evelyn Krape, Vidya Makan, Maria Mercedes, Eddie Muliaumaseali’i, John O’May, Christina O’Neill, Jackie Rees and Slone Sudiro.
Set in an aged-care home full of loveable and eccentric characters, Mrs MacIntyre (Whelan Browne), thinks she’s struck gold when she comes up with a brilliant plan to cut costs: offering free room and board to uni students in exchange for unofficial shifts as care workers.
Don’t miss this smash-hit show full of “uniquely Aussie comedy” (Time Out).
1hr 45min. No interval.
