Miranda Musical Society (NSW) presents Disney’s Beauty and the Beast at Sutherland Entertainment Centre from September 19 to 23, 2012.

Featuring the Academy-Award winning musical score (Alan Mencken, Howard Ashman and Tim Rice) that made the animated film such a hit, plus addirional songs, Beauty and the Beast was adapted as a stage musical, and played on Broadway for 5,464 performances between 1994 and 2007, becoming Broadway’s eighth longest running musical.

Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? at the Old Mill Theatre (WA) from October 11, 2012 will honour the memory of a much-loved member of the theatre community.

Director Garry Lawrence’s wife Beverley was originally cast in the play two years ago by Sue Hayward – but Hayward was diagnosed with an aggressive cancer and died suddenly before the play reached the stage.

“At the time, I thought the play should have run as a dedication to Sue, who had done so much for local theatre,” Lawrence said.

Peter Pan, like its namesake, is a story that never grows old. Children and adults alike fall under the spell of Neverland, a place where children can fly and exciting, frightening adventures happen every day.

Wyong Musical Theatre Company plans to  transport NSW Central Coast audiences to Neverland from September 21 to 29, with Peter Pan the British Musical.
