OUR REVIEW HERE - This week, I had the pleasure of attending the NEW @nolovesongsau musical at the NEW @foundrytheatresydney at the @sydneylyrictheatre! The Foundry Theatre had such a cool, intimate vibe - perfect for smaller productions. It has a small bar with stools & chairs and comfortable seating inside and close seating next to the stage aswell as up in balcony.
No Love Songs is a powerful and uplifting modern love story featuring heartfelt songs by Kyle Falconer, lead singer of the Scottish band The View. The show was raw, thought-provoking, and deeply emotional, taking me back to the physical and mental rollercoaster of motherhood and parenthood.
Without giving too much away, I have to highlight the incredible cast! Keegan Joyce and Lucy Maunder delivered stunning performances, both vocally and emotionally. Lucy brought such strength to her role - I saw a completely different side of her compared to Chicago. She was an absolute force in this show, capturing her character’s struggles with raw intensity through her vocals and expressions. They were supported by musical director Mark Chamberlain whose seamless direction added to this powerful soundtrack.
No Love Songs is based on the real-life experiences of Kyle Falconer and his partner Laura Wilde, with an added Australian twist.
The show runs at The Foundry Theatre until April 13, before heading to Riverside Theatre in May and then touring across the country! For a full breakdown of their tour dates, check out our shows to watch in 2025 round-up via our website.
Please note: This show contains adult themes, explicit language, and some strong scenes, so it’s not recommended for young audiences.
It was fantastic to finally meet @amandabuckworthpublicity @jbmandm @serendipity.sydney.explorers and see @chamellephoto and @koffee_kup again 🥰🥰🙌

Produced by Rodney Rigby for Newtheatricals (Water For Elephants on Broadway, Come From Away, Gaslight, Jersey Boys, Good Night, Oscar on Broadway starring Tony Award winner Sean Hayes), No Love Songs completed a sell-out season at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and in London and just completed its American premiere ahead of its New York opening in March 2025, following the Australian premiere.
“No Love Songs is a real love story with passion and hopes and dreams and mistakes and regrets and restarts. It’s very much about the struggle of young parents plus the anguish of being apart from loved ones and difficulty of coping with day-to-day obligations, but ultimately offers hopes and happiness,” said Producer Rodney Rigby.
“In addition to being a new musical for Australian audiences, we are also delighted that No Love Songs will be the first musical to be staged at the new Foundry Theatre at the Lyric Theatre, ahead of its national tour,” he added.
