Jetty Theatre

If intimately set theatre shows from touring and local talent are more your vibe, then don’t skimp on the slew of shows at Jetty Theatre.

 

Here’s a sampling of those shows:

-      The Kings of Country Rock Tour (Feb 4 & 5): featuring salutes to America’s number 1 country rock legends in a two-hour spectacular. Expect to hear The Eagles’ iconics as well as tunes from Creedence Clearwater’s bag, too!

-      Abba and The Bee Gees Tribute Show (Feb 11): combining Abba Re-Bjorn and The Ultimate Bee Gees for a one-off “disco night” collating 5 decades of super hits. It’s a high octane 2-and-a-half hours from musicians with well over 2000 performances under their belt!

-      Firebringer The Musical (Feb 15-24): meet Jemella and her stone-age friends as they overcome a lurking predator, surviving the elements, and harnessing a revolutionary new invention… Fire!
