Strictly Ballroom: The Musical
17–25 May 2024
Petersham Town Hall
STRICTLY BALLROOM returned to Petersham Town Hall 32 years after serving as the backdrop for the flamboyant dancing scenes from Baz Luhrmann's 1992 film.
STRICTLY BALLROOM THE MUSICAL is the inspiring story of a championship ballroom dancer who defies all the rules to follow his heart. Featuring songs from the hit film including "Love is in the Air", "Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps" and "Time After Time", the musical includes new songs from internationally acclaimed artists and composers including Sia, David Foster and Eddie Perfect.
We are proud to have shared this classic Australian story with the community and thank Inner West Council for their ongoing support.
