Australian Musical Theatre Festival: The Musical Theatre Mix-Up: The Records That Shaped a Legend
22 May @ 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm AEST

AMTF invites audiences into an intimate, unique conversation with one of Australia’s most beloved musical theatre icons, Nancye Hayes AM.
Streaming live via Zoom from Sydney— where she is currently appearing in Anastasia — Nancye joins the Festival as both celebrated artist and cherished patron for a warm, personal exploration of the songs that shaped her remarkable career.
Hosted inside Launceston’s new boutique listening bar, Dill Pickle Club, the event pairs Nancye’s stories with the original cast recordings, vinyl treasures and musical theatre gems that influenced her journey from young hopeful to national treasure. Audiences will hear anecdotes from her six decades on stage, reflections on the artists who inspired her, and behind-the-scenes memories from some of Australia’s most significant productions.
