SEASON EXTENDED
That’s right! By popular demand – after receiving rave reviews and performing to sold-out houses – we are ecstatic to announce that we are extending our season of The Deb by TWO WEEKS!
We have added 8 new shows, playing 26 May – 4 June. The season MUST END 4 June so get your tickets while you still can!
VIVID SYDNEY & THE DEB
Vivid is returning to Sydney on May 27. Patrons who have tickets to performances on 27, 28, 29 May, 3, and 4 June will be affected by road closures on Hickson Road and changes to public transport. Please read the important information here on changes around getting to The Rebel Theatre. We advise arriving at least 40 minutes prior to your performance to make it to the venue in congested traffic conditions, larger crowds, and to secure the best seat!
High school outcast and whimsical mega-dork Taylah longs to be the princess in her own fairy tale. Which isn’t easy in Dunburn – a drought-stricken Aussie town struggling for survival, where cool girls and footy hunks lead the pack. But when her hyper-woke, inner-city cousin Maeve comes to stay, the pair join forces on a quest to make their mark on the best night of the year: the town’s annual Debutante Ball. In their search for social redemption and the spotlight, chaos ensues – along with a whole lot of fake tan, lace, and diamante tiaras for ya up-do.
Conceived and co-directed by the hilarious Hannah Reilly (Winner of the 2019 Rebel Wilson Comedy Commission) with original music by multi-ARIA Award-winning Megan Washington, The Deb is a heart-warming and uproarious coming-of-age story about friendship, courage, and the beauty of coming out as yourself.
Don’t miss the debut of what will no doubt join Muriel’s Wedding and FANGIRLS in the ranks of beloved Australian stage musicals.
WARNINGS: Strong language, sexual references, high chance of a mullet
