Sydney University Musical Theatre Ensemble Presents

1984! The Musical!

11 - 14 Jul 2023

Past Event

Tap-dancing in torture chambers, rats with razzle-dazzle, Big Brother with even bigger star power – 1984! The Musical! has it all! MUSE and Big Brother invite you on a dystopic romp: a light-hearted comedy about totalitarianism, thought-police, surveillance states, and sex.

Don’t miss the community debut of this new Australian musical, which serves as a timely reminder that ignorance is strength, freedom is slavery, and (most importantly) comedy is tragedy. Will Winston start a revolution, or will he yield to his oppressors? Either way, he’ll sing while trying!

There’s never been a better time for an all-singing, all-dancing celebration of Orwell’s masterpiece, with today’s rise of populism, alternative facts, and Nineteen Eighty-Four now being in the public domain. Taking Orwell’s classic soul-crushing tale, and adding toe-tapping tunes, 1984! The Musical! is ‘Nineteen Eighty-Four’ like you’ve never seen it before! Pop open the Victory Gin and grab your tickets to 1984! The Musical! It’s double-plus-good!
