SOMETIMES LIFE IS WORTH MAKING A SONG AND DANCE ABOUT.

WORLD PREMIERE
Winner 2004 The Pratt Prize for Music Theatre

A brilliant new musical by one of Australia's brightest young talents and starring one of the legends of the Australian music theatre stage, Nancye Hayes.

At the best and worst of times families are touching, challenging and ultimately hilarious. If reality television has shown us anything it's that one group of people should never be locked in one house for too long without escaping to breathe, at least between commercial breaks. Metro Street exposes the reality of three generations bound by blood and stretched by a modern world that insists on changing daily. With a fresh, contemporary score and instantly recognisable characters from award-winning writer Matthew Robinson, Metro Street will have you feeling at home within moments and leave you heading towards your own home revitalised and deeply moved.

They could be your family, your friends or your neighbours.

It's funny, it's touching, it's big-hearted, Australian and new!
