Christmas Actually — The Little Red Company
An end-of-year favourite, this supremely festive cabaret show sings through all the hits from 'Love Actually'.
Overview
This Christmas, all you need is love — plus a festive little cabaret that showcases all of the hit tunes from Love Actually. It's the way to celebrate the season when you're not just leaving the seasonal favourite flick on repeat at home. Yep, that's Christmas Actually.
Created by the folks behind Rumour Has It and Lady Beatle, and starring Naomi Price (Ladies in Black, Beautiful: The Carole King Musical), Christmas Actually features all of the tracks that've become synonymous with this merry time of year — including Mariah Carey's 'All I Want for Christmas Is You', naturally.
Songs by Joni Mitchell, Norah Jones, Eva Cassidy, The Beach Boys and The Beatles are all on the bill as well — and, to help belt them out, Price will be joined by Luke Kennedy, Stefanie Jones, Doron Chester, Scott French, Mik Easterman, Lauren White and Ben Kiehne.
There'll even be more than one nativity lobster, plus a jolly mood and a whole room full of festive cheer. That room is Sydney Coliseum Theatre, where Christmas Actually plays its 2024 Harbour City date on Saturday, December 21.
