Miracle City

Miracle City resurfaces for the first time since its original 1996 inception. In association with Luckiest Productions and Hayes Theatre Co, this musical is being developed and performed at a very socially relevant time.

“Miracle City is not really about religion, it’s about hypocrisy. It’s about understanding [that] you have to look to yourself to find out what you believe – you can’t look at something external. Whether that’s organised religion, or your partner, you have to look to yourself,” says co-producer Richard Carroll.

“It’s the only musical that I know which plays out in real time,” he continues.

Performed in conjunction with a live-to-air American Televangelist show; timing is of the essence. With wonderful musical direction and concept by Max Lambert, alongside director Darren Yap, the ‘miracle’ is about to take Sydney on a wild theme-park ride.

Miracle City is taking to the stage thanks to a host of Australian theatre royalty including Mike McLeish, Blazey Best, Hilary Cole, Marika Aubrey, Josie Lane, Cameron Holmes along with Peter Kowitz and Esther Hannaford.

This unique Australian gem has been dusted off, and is sure to entertain a new generation of audiences.

“A joyous night at the theatre that evolves into something altogether more thought-provoking,” says Carroll. (RBM)
