Belvoir St Theatre: Big Girls Don’t Cry

Belvoir St Theatre 25 Belvoir St, Sydney, NSW, Australia
Redfern 1966. Cheryl, Lulu and Queenie are young and life is glorious, full of hilarity and joy, even if jobs are precarious, the police harass them, and racism seeps into everything. But as they gear up for the biggest night of the year – the Deb Ball – their lives,…
Editor's Choice Bloom

Sydney Theatre Company: Bloom

Roslyn Packer Theatre 22 Hickson Rd, Sydney, NSW, Australia
