Ruthless! Sydney Premiere
New independent theatre company The Theatre Division will stage the Sydney Premiere season of RUTHLESS! THE MUSICAL from 19 June to 5 July 2014 as part of The 2014 Reginald Season at The Seymour Centre.
Winner of the New York Outer Critics Circle Award for Best Off-Broadway Musical, RUTHLESS! is a razor sharp send-up of the entertainment business, full of witty one- liners, bright, brassy show tunes and ingenious plot twists. RUTHLESS! turns housewives into movie stars, grandmothers into grand dames, and children into sociopaths, all the while parodying Broadway and Hollywood classics Gypsy, Mame, The Women, The Bad Seedand All About Eve.
The Sydney premiere of this dark musical comedy stars an all-female cast featuring Katrina Retallick, Meredith O’Reilly, Margi De Ferranti and Caitlin Berry, with the Geraldine Turner as Broadway critic ‘Lita Encore’.
Established in 2014 by producer Alistair Thomson and director Lisa Freshwater, THE THEATRE DIVISION is an emerging independent theatre company which aims to develop, produce and tour popular, innovative live entertainment.
Productions will range from intimate solo shows and regional tours to concerts and large-scale theatrical productions. THE THEATRE DIVISION is the culmination of Thomson and Freshwater’s creative partnership that has seen the production of the charity concerts Raise the Roof! and Hats Off! and the Launchpad cabaret seasons. Freshwater directed the new Australian musicals Every Single Saturdayand Life Forceand Thomson produced the Sydney premiere of Folliesat the SOH.
