School of Rock is the full-throttle musical from Andrew Lloyd Webber that explodes off the stage with guitar-smashing energy.

JONES Theatrical Group: The Book of Mormon

Capitol Theatre, Sydney 13 Campbell St, Haymarket, NSW

Phar Lap The Musical

Hayes Theatre Co: Phar Lap The Musical

Hayes Theatre Co 19 Greenknowe Avenue, Elizabeth Bay, NSW, Australia
Not just another absurdist, electro-swing musical comedy about a thoroughbred racehorse, Phar Lap is a rags-to-riches story with a big heart. If you’re thinking elaborate life-size puppetry and dazzling special effects, you couldn’t be more wrong (we don’t have the budget). Suspend your disbelief as an actor swaps his horseshoes…
