Ladies in Black

tim finn's smash hit musical · CLOSED 22 JANUARY 2017

The swankiest new home-grown musical since Priscilla was queen, Ladies in Black is a whirling, toe-tapping trip back in time. Paying until 22 January only! 

Sydney, 1959 - a city at the crossroads between the stuffy repression of the 1950s and the glorious liberation of the 1960s...Bright-eyed, bookish school leaver Lisa steps through the doors of the city’s most prestigious department store, F.G. Goodes. A world of unknown possibilities opens up as she befriends the colourful denizens of the Ladies Cocktail Frocks Department – including her new mentor, the exotic Magda, mysterious mistress of Model Gowns.

With its irreverent humour and immense charm, Ladies in Black is a magical, modern-day fairy-tale sure to leave you singing long after you leave the theatre. Queensland Theatre Company has created a heartwarming adaptation of Madeleine St John’s popular 1993 novel, The Women in Black. 

Duration: Approx 2 hours and 35 minutes (including 1 interval).

Age Reccomendation: 13+
