In Photo: Strictly Ballroom the Musical

The Theatre Sphere - Photographic Retrospective

Last night as part of the new In Photo retrospective series, I shared photographs I took from the media call of Global Creatures’ stage musical of Muriel’s Wedding the Musical which I highly recommend you check out if you haven’t already. As I mentioned in the article, the producer previously worked on the Australian, United States and United Kingdom tours of Strictly Ballroom the Musical, adapting the classic 90s Australian film by Baz Luhrmann. This remains to date one of my favourite musicals despite the mixed reception from other theatre critics, the combination of fantastic costumes, great dancing, clever audience participation and a level of Aussie dagginess all contributing to a fantastic night (or afternoon) out.

I came across the photos I took from the media call of the show’s Brisbane QPAC season in 2015, and after re-editing them, would like to share them with everyone. While there is no official tour of Strictly Ballroom the Musical taking place anywhere in the world by Global Creatures – with the company focusing on Muriel’s Wedding the Musical and Moulin Rouge! The Musical as of writing – licensing for the musical has commenced for schools and community theatre. Therefore if you get the chance to see it, I would definitely recommend doing so.

But for now, please enjoy a look at the original Australian production below:
