The wildly entertaining spectacle 50 Shades! The Musical Parody is headed back to Melbourne in July for a strictly limited run.
This laugh out loud send up of the global phenomenon Fifty Shades of Grey has sold more than a million tickets worldwide, and been a hit at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival a few years back.
Now it’s headed back to Melbourne where it will play at the Alex Theatre in St Kilda from 19 – 27 July 2024.
50 Shades! The Musical Parody explores the steamy relationship between the well-known characters from one of the best-selling books of all time, Fifty Shades of Grey, as seen through the eyes of three women in a book club.
As they devour the novel, the love affair between Anastasia Steele, the naive hardware store employee, and Christian Grey, the handsome businessman with unconventional sexual practices, comes to life around them.
The ladies’ imagination and curiosity become the show’s distinct flavour, which makes for an enticing mix of laugh-out-loud moments entwined in 12 original songs such as “I Don’t Make Love” and “There’s a Hole Inside of Me”, that draw inspiration from the likes of Gilbert and Sullivan, Les Miserables and R&B music.
After the show, the night only gets better. Dance the night away with your bestie as their DJ spins the hottest tracks, turning the venue into your own personal playground.
