It's a big month on Sydney's stages – both indoor and outdoor. Dolly Parton's 9 to 5 the Musical finally makes its much anticipated Sydney debut (we talked to the local star stepping into Parton's "teenie, tiny little shoes"), Opera Australia's epic harbourside staging of The Phantom of the Opera makes a splash (we spoke to the leading ladies bringing two eras of Phantom to the harbour), and Sydney Theatre Company takes us beyond the veil with Blithe Spirit (we spoke to drag superstar Courtney Act about her first major dramatic role). But if you're after something a bit more intimate, our indie theatres are in full swing this month.
Note: in light of the evolving impacts of Covid and extreme weather, many events across Sydney are being postponed, rescheduled or cancelled. Things are changing rapidly. Always check ahead with the event organiser to see if an event or venue you're planning to attend is still open, and what precautions and conditions of entry are in place.
