From New York and Las Vegas to Down Under, following performances in 2021, Friends! The Musical Parody is back touring Australia from May 2022. The national tour will open in Adelaide (Dunstan Playhouse, Adelaide Festival Centre) on 4 May 2022. This will be followed by subsequent seasons in Hobart (Wrest Point Entertainment Centre), Wollongong (Illawarra Performing Arts Centre), Sydney (Riverside Theatres, Parramatta), Canberra (The Playhouse, Canberra Theatre Centre), Brisbane (The Tivoli), Perth (Regal Theatre) and Melbourne (Athenaeum Theatre) between opening and December 2022.
Parodying and adapting the iconic television show Friends into a musical, fans can look forward to in-jokes, highlights from the show, and misadventures involving the 6 friends (and the Central Perk barista) as they navigate the pitfalls of work, life and love in 1990s Manhattan.
Follow Ross, Rachel, Chandler, Monica, Joey and Phoebe as they navigate life and friendship, all the while reliving favourite moments from the smash hit TV show. Friends! The Musical Parody plucks the best moments from the show’s decade long run and recreates the moments through an uncensored, fast-paced, music-filled romp.
The 2022 Australian National Tour of Friends! The Parody Musical is being directed by Dash Kruck, choreography by Cameron Mitchell, set and costume designs by Frances Hannaway, lighting design by Jason Glenwright and musical direction by Steven Kreamer.

We had so much fun with the show on the Gold Coast and in Brisbane, and are excited to finally tour the show around Australia and share the hilarity with audiences, particularly with the addition of some new venues! Come and see Friends! The Musical Parody – whether you’re a Friends fan or not, you won’t be disappointed!
