Get ready to groove this October!
The electrifying sounds of jazz return with the Melbourne International Jazz Festival. Soundworks Productions is back with Jason Robert Brown’s musical Songs for a New World. And get set for Christie Whelan Browne’s welcome return in the iconic Britney Spears: The Cabaret.
All at Chapel off Chapel this October.
Songs For A New World
Tony Award winner, Jason Robert Brown’s moving collection of powerful songs examines life, love and the choices that we make. With a rousing score that blends elements of pop, gospel and jazz, it features tight harmonies and soaring vocals. Sixteen songs are drawn together by a theme: a moment of decision, the point at which you transition from the old to the new.
Roaring
The talented members of Burwood Student Theatre Company present Roaring. Set in the 1960s, Vera is desperately seeking fame when her life changes upon meeting casino owner Johnny. Two differing worlds meet and an unlikely romance blossoms. The play begins with the ending scene, rewinding and backtracks their stories.
Take The Mic
The Grand Final has arrived. Take the Mic’s singing competition returns. Celebrating 10 years, the competition features emerging Melbourne singers of all styles performing pop hits to musical theatre.
With special appearances from industry judges. Who will win on the day?

Melbourne International Jazz Festival
