MIRACLE CITY: New Production at Hayes Theatre Co.
Luckiest Productions in association with Hayes Theatre Co will present a brand new production of Nick Enright and Max Lambert’s musical Miracle City at Hayes Theatre Co in Sydney from October 17 – November 16, 2014.
Set in real time during a live-to-air American evangelical television show, Miracle City tells the story of the Truswells, a family with a dream to build a religious theme park, and the extreme lengths the patriarch Ricky Truswell will go to in order to make their dream a reality.
Miracle City, which had its world premiere at the Sydney Theatre Company in 1996, will be directed by Darren Yap - The Serpent’s Table, A Murder is Announced, I Love You You’re Perfect Now Change - with musical direction by Max Lambert - Hairspray, King Kong, Strictly Ballroom - and choreography by Kelley Abbey - Fame The Musical, Xanadu: The Musical.
Casting for the production will be announced at a later date.
“I saw Miracle City in 1996 and I was profoundly inspired by it.....As one of the best Australian musicals ever written, it deserves to be seen again by a new generation of audiences,” said director Darren Yap.
“It’s a privilege for us to give 21st century audiences a chance to see this legendary piece,” said Lisa Campbell. “Funny, moving and thought-provoking, with beautiful music and a razor-sharp script - it’s exactly the sort of musical Hayes Theatre Co was created to showcase.”
