Welcome to The Grandparents Club!
A brand-new, original Australian musical comedy that celebrates the wonderful world of grandparenting.
Just show your grandparent ID to Club president and mine host, Jimmy Bigelow and you’re in for a night of fabulous, five-star entertainment.
It’s an all-you-can-eat buffet of stand-up, send-up and song in the Club’s famous bar, café and spa with regulars Jeff, Liz and Maria. And everyone’s a winner in Jimmy’s karaoke, trivia and bingo in the plush surrounds of the Club’s cabaret rooms!
This is a show that's been written especially for our often overlooked and underappreciated army of grandparents. Where would we be without them? Grandparents are “grand”. It’s in the name!
Written by Australian comedy legend Wendy Harmer and featuring the music of mulit-award winning composer and Music Director John Field, this 90-minute revue is performed by a stellar cast led by Lynne McGranger (Home and Away), Laurence Coy, Meredith O’Reilly, and Andrew James.
As Wendy Harmer shares: “Grandparents aren’t what they used to be. It’s been such fun to upend the old stereotypes of grannies in aprons making scones and grandpas tinkering away in sheds.
Today’s grandparents are adventurous, engaged and no longer ‘invisible’. They play a vital role in modern family life. But one thing never changes … the deep, abiding bond between loving grandparents and their adored grandies.”
Not just a musical; The Grandparents Club is an invitation to join a club where everyone is part of the grand adventure of life and of course, what happens at the Grandparents Club stays in the Grandparents Club!
Grands and Great Grands from all walks of life across the nation are invited to join the club from the 30th of May to the 4th of August.
