Showing at the University of 亚洲色吧鈥檚 Scott Theatre from Thursday 24 April to Sunday 27 April, this vibrant reimagining, directed by guest artist Miranda Middleton, features the third-year Music Theatre cohort 鈥 the graduating class of 2025.
Middleton鈥檚 vision transforms the traditional fairytale forest into an Australian dreamscape, drawing on the aesthetics of iconic local music festivals.
鈥淥ur unique spin on Sondheim鈥檚 masterpiece is set in a nostalgic Australian suburbia 鈥 when hills hoists and double denim were king, and smartphones didn鈥檛 exist,鈥 Middleton says.
