Meredith O'Reilly, Andrew James, Wayne Scott and Lynne McGranger

Get ready for an hilarious adventure as the new Australian musical comedy, Cruising with The Grandparents Club, as it sets sail for Wyong on September 26 as part of a national tour.

Following sold-out shows and overwhelming demand, the team behind last year’s hit The Grandparents Club return with an all-new stage adventure.

This 90-minute musical comedy coming to The Art House, Wyong, on September 26, will delight audiences across metro and regional venues.

Packed with side-splitting laughs, catchy tunes, and cheeky, highly relatable characters and stories, this feel-good show is a one-of-a-kind celebration of grandparenthood life.

What could be more fun than four grandparents heading off on a cruise to cut loose?

The answer – a highly interactive show that also sees the audience sharing in the on-board fun.

Board the SS Grand Times with Jimmy Bigelow, your guest cruise director, plus his old Grandparent Club mates as you set sail for a bucket-list adventure.

They may miss their grandkids and have some onshore family drama to sort out, but for now, the cruising life is truly grand.

Reprising their roles from The Grandparents Club is a stellar cast led by Lynne McGranger (Home and Away) as Liz, Wayne Scott Kermond as Jimmy Bigelow, Meredith O’Reilly as Maria, and Andrew James as Jeff.

Cruising with The Grandparents Club is written by multi-award-winning Australian writer, playwright and grandparent, Richard Tulloch. (Bananas in Pyjamas, Hating Alison Ashley, The Book of Everything).

“It’s a refreshing change for me to be writing for and about grandparents,” Tulloch said.

“‘Opa to four grandkids of my own, I have no shortage of material.”

All of the show’s catchy musical earworms come from multi-award-winning composer and music director John Field (The Cockroaches, The Wiggles) with Field relishing the opportunity to bring all of the great feels of the 60s, 70s and 80s to the stage.

“We were delighted that last year’s show was so warmly embraced by our grandparent audiences, and we are thrilled to now be sharing an all-new grandparent adventure with an even wider grandparent community,” producers Lyndi Adler and Maree Kirkland-Morris said.

“We hope that every member of our audience walks away smiling, singing the tunes, and feeling truly celebrated.”

The all-Australian creative team is completed by Helpmann award-winning director Luke Joslin and choreographer Leanne Halloran.
