Strictly Ballroom The Musical will head to Brisbane this September, to play at the Lyric Theatre, Queensland Performing Arts Centre (QPAC).  Strictly Ballroom The Musical premiered in Sydney last year and is currently playing at Her Majesty’s Theatre in Melbourne.

The stage production is staged by the same creative team that made the classic 1992 film of the same name, headed by Baz Luhrmann.  “From a small student play to my first motion picture and now a full-blown theatrical stage musical, Strictly Ballroom has been an almost thirty year journey for me,” says Luhrmann. “I have often marvelled at how this story, born so long ago, has been in my life for so many years and has managed to touch, move, entertain and uplift so many different people from so many different backgrounds. I think the simple truth is that, despite all the sequins, outrageous hairdos and classic Hollywood musical plotting, the simple message that ‘There isn’t only one way to cha cha cha’ and that ‘Within us all we have the true potential to dance through life with our own steps’, is something that appeals to all of us. The message that life doesn’t have to be strictly ballroom is something I hope our audiences will carry with them as they dance down the aisles.”

Tickets for the Brisbane season of Strictly Ballroom The Musical go on sale Monday 2 March.  Head to www.qpac.com.au for bookings and more info.
