The team behind the viral "Premier Gladys" videos during Covid present a new musical comedy about Gladys Berejiklian, the woman who “saved Australia" but couldn't save herself.
“Gladys” debuted in a rock ‘n’ roll press conference in the Black Summer rock opera "Watch and Act".
Now, a crack team of musicians and actors takes you through her life, from her flawless leadership through two disasters, until her biggest disaster: Dodgy Daryl from Wagga Wagga.
With music and lyrics by ABC Radio's Nick Rheinberger, the hilarious Tia Wilson returns as Gladys in several colourful blazers. It's got big rock numbers, epic ballads, Armenian matchmaking, phone tap dancing and even more musical press conferences.
It’s been sold out with a long waiting list at every performance, so here’s Byron’s chance to see Gladys face the public once again.
“Political satire at its finest. A rollicking ride through Covid and the ICAC inquiry” Kelly Burke, The Guardian
“Marrying comedy and music...and a whole shooting range of nuance” Brian Kelly, The Illawarra Flame
Audience reactions:
“A satirical masterpiece”
“This show is amazing”
“A theatrical triumph”
“Loved it, so funny”
“We just laughed from beginning to end”
