After a triumphant first season playing sold out shows to rave reviews, Bare The Musical has been extended for 10 more shows at the New Theatre in Newtown.
The second season runs from January 19 to 28, with plenty of St George and Sutherland Shire locals returning to make up the cast.
Director and choreographer Hannah Barn, Jacob Barn and Stephanie McKenna from Arncliffe, Timothy Langan of Bonnet Bay, Kirrawee’s Julie Ryan and Beverly Hills residents Matt Laird and Teale Howie all return to the production after its initial run at The Depot Theatre in Marrickville.
Another local, Natalie Abbot from Gymea, has earned rave reviews for her performance as Nadia.
The pulsating, contemporary LGBT pop-rock musical follows a group of students at a Catholic boarding school as they grapple with issues of sexuality, identity and the future.
The show takes audiences on an emotional musical journey. Peter and Jason have fallen in love but they struggle with the fears of revealing their true selves to such an unforgiving world. Peter wants to acknowledge their love openly, while Jason does not.
With a unique sung-through pop score by Damon Intrabartolo and heart-pounding lyrics by Jon Hartmere Jr. along with a cast of bright young characters, Bare rings with the sounds of youthful repression and revolt. The show is a provocative, fresh and honest look at the dangers of baring your soul and the consequences of continuing to hide.
Tickets are $42 and $49.
