MARVELous The Show premieres at the National Theatre in October.
With a rock-infused soundtrack, breathtaking stage design, and a cast of exceptional acrobats, vocalists, dancers, and high-flying aerialists, MARVELous The Show is a dynamic blend of parody, hilarity, and impressive live performances, all delivered with a satiric and risqué edge.
Fresh from a rapturous Sydney season, the production reimagines beloved superheroes like Thor, Black Widow, Deadpool, Scarlet Witch, Spider-Man, Iron Man, and more in outrageous and unexpected subversions of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

MARVELous The Show is also packed with pop culture Easter eggs and references to iconic films such as Dirty Dancing, Magic Mike, Flashdance, and The Greatest Showman, offering something for everyone.
Award-winning designer Dan Potra (Sweeney Todd at Southbank London, La Boheme on the Harbour for Opera Australia, The Barber Of Seville for Houston Grand Opera) has created an extraordinary stage design, complemented by lighting design from James Wallis (Hayes Theatre’s recent productions of City of Angels and Bonnie & Clyde) and choreography by Luka Lea-Vestic.
Co-creator and director Samwise Holmes says, “MARVELous is a production we’ve been building for five years. We wanted to create a show that was unexpectedly spectacular, and I think we’ve achieved that. We focused on creating a great show first and a Marvel parody second—it’s been an exciting ride seeing where we could take it and how far we can push the boundaries of what people would expect. We are so proud of the show we’ve put together and can’t wait to share it with Melbourne.”
