Fabulous array of shows coming to Laycock Street Theatre

Kelly O'Brien stars as Dolly in the Dolly Show

Laycock Street Theatre has a full and fabulous array of musical and comedy shows coming up that are sure to please all tastes and ages.

On October 11 at 11am, the theatre hosts The Dolly Show – Morning Melodies, a show that brilliantly captures the voice and verve of the little lady from Tennessee.

Kelly O’Brien transforms into an uncanny Dolly Parton and accompanied by her fantastic band, performs Dolly’s greatest hits including 9 to 5, Joelene and Islands in the Stream.

Fresh from a UK tour, this show is fantastic fun and popular with Dolly devotees and debutantes alike.

Broadway to Ballet is a break away from the Central Dance Company’s usual repertoire of a full ballet from the classics, opening with a toe-tapping Broadway trip down memory lane through some memorable musicals under the expert guidance of Darren Disney.

The journey from Broadway to Ballet sees some stunning and iconic pas de deux from two leading guest professionals, Janae Kerr and Alex Cox, along with the CDC dancers who bring a Gershwin wonderland of dance to the stage.

Two performances will be held on October 7 at 2.30pm and 7.30pm.

Based on the 2005 film of the same name and inspired by a true story, Kinky Boots tells the tale of Charlie Price, a young man who faces the unenviable task of trying to reverse the fortunes of his family’s flailing shoe factory.

Gosford Musical Society brings Kinky Boots to life with a show featuring an energetic pop score by Cyndi Lauper, fierce choreography and a tale of acceptance.

This musical is one for all ages with performances on October 20, 21, 27, 28, 29 and November 2, 3 and 4.

For one night only on November 11 at 7pm, the Lakes Festival Comedy gala will take to the stage in a celebration of non-stop comedy with an amazing line-up of Australia’s funniest stars, homegrown legends and next-big-things in comedy.

Presented by Newcastle Comedy Festival, the line-up includes Cameron James, Chris Ryan, Daniel Muggleton and Tom Cashman.

The content is suitable for ages 15 and over.

The 90-minute performance will be held in the Don Craig Room.

Some of the biggest names in Australian satire are once again joining forces for their annual assault on politics, current events and the absurdity of modern life in the War on 2023.
