Following its Australian premiere last year, “Love Actually? The Musical Parody” is set to return this year, Variety Australia can reveal.
The show, based on the famous hit 2003 Christmas film, will return to Melbourne’s Athenaeum Theatre from December 5th, after its NSW premiere at Sydney’s Darling Quarter Theatre from November 27th, and a Queensland premiere season playing at Brisbane Showgrounds from December 11th.
The musical follows “nine quirky couples seeking love across the pond, the cheeky show delivers all the awkward meet-cutes, over-the-top grand gestures, and side splitting moments that fans crave”.
“This show is like Christmas dinner after a few too many champagnes – loud, ridiculous, and way too much fun. Whether you’re obsessed with Love Actually, love to hate it, or just want some musical theatre laughs, Love Actually? The Musical Parody is pure festive chaos: outrageous jokes, over-the-top romance, and songs that’ll have you humming into New Year,” promoter Ashley Tickell said.
“It takes all the bits you secretly giggle at in the movie and dials them up to 100. Grab your mates, a date, or your mum – this is a night out that you’ll actually love! It’s like wrapping yourself in tinsel and good vibes.”
“Love Actually? The Musical Parody” will boast all local casts, with auditions already underway.
