The hit science musical returns to Adelaide!
When Phoebe’s house is flooded during a storm, her parents take her to stay with her distant Uncle Linus in his rickety 200-year-old manor. With its many rooms and creaky floorboards, Phoebe just wants to be back home. That is until she discovers her uncle working away in a grand laboratory! As Linus shares some spectacular science experiments, Phoebe’s imagination takes over. Together, they weave the experiments into a magnificent story that uncovers what it means to be family.
The biggest lessons to be learnt aren’t just ones of science…
Co-written by global YouTube sensation, Simon Blacket (Silly Science with Simon), and one of South Australia’s premiere young composers, Benji Riggs, I Wonder opened in 2024 with sold out shows and toured schools the same year. This year, the musical returns to amaze Adelaide audiences with its catchy songs and incredible science once more.

Kitchen Witches serves up a deliciously funny battle of wit, sass, and sabotage when feuding chefs Dolly and Isobel find themselves co-hosting a TV show, the kitchen transforms into a hilarious battlefield. As they battle over everything from recipes to spotlight, their antics draw in audiences with unpredictable (and uproarious) results.
As the ratings soar, so does the chaos, throw in Dolly’s stressed-out son, who’s just trying to keep the show on track, and you’ve got a side-splitting comedy about rivalries, food fights, and a cooking show that’s anything but by the book!
At 8pm 1 – 4 October & 8 – 11 October.
Matinees at 2.30pm on 4 October, 5 October & 11 October.

It’s Romeo and Juliet … but not as we know it! & Juliet asks the important question: what if Juliet chose not to kill herself, deciding instead to live her life in her own way?
We follow William Shakespeare and his wife, Anne, as they argue and rewrite one of his most famous tragedies. In this tale, Juliet leaves her past behind to travel to Paris with her nurse Angelique and new friends May and April (aka Anne, who has written herself into the story). There they discover Lance (Angelique’s former lover) and his son Francois, who is looking to shake off his father’s expectations and forge his own life. With Juliet’s own parents trying to send her to a convent, are Juliet and Francois the perfect match for each other? While Shakespeare and Anne argue over the course of Juliet’s destiny, who will Juliet finally choose? Or, does she need to choose at all?!
Full of songs by the hugely successful Swedish pop songwriter Max Martin, & Juliet is a fun jukebox musical that celebrates love, friendship, and taking charge of one’s own destiny.

Pomona
2025-10-10 09:00 - 18:00 | SA
Written By: Alistair McDowall
Creative Team: Directed by Thomas Midena

What darkness lurks at the heart of the city?
Ollie is searching for her sister, and all roads lead to Pomona: an abandoned concrete island at the heart of the city. But as others have learned the hard way, getting involved can cost you everything. Perhaps to survive, it’s better to ignore the truth.
Pomona is a dark, intense and curious one act play about living in the modern world. It unfolds like a puzzle, flirts with the fantastical, and twists like a nightmare.
The play was first performed in London in 2014. This will be its South Australian premiere.

The Pirates of Penzance Auditions
2025-10-12 00:00, 2025-10-19 14:30 - 17:00, 2025-10-20 19:00 - 22:00 | SA
Written By: Gilbert and Sullivan
Creative Team: Director: Bronwyn Calvett
Musical Director: Helen Loveday

On the southern coast of England, Frederic, a young man of 21, celebrates the end of his apprenticeship to a band of pirates. He believes the pirate way of life is wicked, and that the crew should consider a respectable lifestyle. The Pirate King claims that, compared to a respectable lifestyle, piracy is honest.
Frederic prepares to leave the pirate ship with his nursemaid Ruth in tow. On the beach, they stumble upon a group of beautiful young women. Frederic asks them to help him reform from his pirate life. All reject him except Mabel, and the two quickly fall in love.
The pirates return to storm the beach and capture the young women, intending to marry them. The women’s father, the Major-General, arrives and objects to his daughters being married against their will. To save them, he claims to be an orphan. As orphans themselves, the pirates are sympathetic and agree to release their captives.
Later at home, the Major-General laments his lie, and his daughters try to comfort him. The police sergeant arrives and tells them that with Frederic’s help, he is prepared to arrest the pirates. Frederic considers this an opportunity to atone for a life of piracy. The Pirate King and Ruth arrive and inform him that he was to be apprenticed until his 21st birthday and, as he was born in a leap year on February 29, he is actually only 5 years old. The Pirate King insists that Frederic honor his sense of duty and return to the pirates. Upon realizing this, Frederic tells the Pirate King of the impending attack.
Before leaving, Frederic meets with Mabel to tell her of his plight, and they agree to be faithful to each other until his return. Mabel tells the police that they will have to face the pirates alone, not knowing the pirates are planning an attack of their own.
The pirates attack the Major-General’s house and easily subdue the police. The sergeant begs for mercy in the name of Queen Victoria. Ruth reveals that the pirates are in fact nobility, and the pirates free the Major-General out of their sense of loyalty to the Queen. The Major-General, happy to have his daughters wed noblemen, offers the pirates their hands in marriage as thanks. All join in celebration of the approaching weddings.
