Midnight: The Fairy Tale Begins Musical Comedy Theatre Melbourne


  • Comedy Theatre, Melbourne (map)

MIDNIGHT is a major new musical that is sure to delight audiences young and old! Loosely inspired by the Cinderella story, this enchanting new tale features Ella, a feisty, funny and passionate young heroine who doesn’t want or need a so-called Prince Charming.

Enchanted by this alluring stranger, the prince finds himself in uncharted territory and quickly learns that ‘Ella’ is like no other. Can he prove his worth? Can she ignite his desire for change? Can all be achieved before the magical stroke of MIDNIGHT?

With music and lyrics by John Foreman and Anthony Costanzo and featuring an exclusive song by Kate Miller-Heidke, this delightful tale is being reimagined for the stage with Direction/Book by Dean Murphy and Pip Mushin with Choreography by Kelly Aykers rounding out this premiere offering.

MIDNIGHT: The Musical opens at the Comedy Theatre on Friday June 23. MIDNIGHT Kids Week performances are scheduled from Tuesday July 11 – Thursday July 13. At special Kids Week performances, anyone aged 16 and under can attend MIDNIGHT for free when accompanied by a full-paying adult.
