Overview

Here's the thing about classic musicals — you go for the showstoppers and then (unless you're a true theatre tragic) spend a fair amount of time trying not to look at your watch. Let's be honest — for every 'Defying Gravity' in Wicked or 'America' in West Side Story, there are three or four scenes of fluffy plot to sit through.

Caroline O'Connor, one of Australia's most revered musical theatre talents, is cutting the fat. She's headed to the City Recital Hall for a one-night-only show, From Broadway with Love. No fluff, no Mormons and no rapping American Founding Fathers. Just a rummage through musical theatre's pool room for a night of the hits.

Joined by the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Choir, O'Connor will be busting out back-to-back barnburners from a career which has seen her rarely step foot out of the theatre. With a hefty biography that includes ChicagoFunny GirlA Chorus Line and a role in Baz Luhrmann's Moulin Rouge! to call upon, O'Connor will also perform songs from West Side Story, Anything Goes and many more. You can leave your watch at home for this one — sailor suits and smoking jackets, though, are strongly encouraged.

Tickets for Caroline O'Connor: From Broadway with Love start from $75. For more information and to purchase tickets, visit the City Recital Hall website
