Experience the heartwarming, hilarious, and utterly inspiring story of Shirley Valentine, brought to life by Australian stage and screen star Natalie Bassingthwaighte.
Written by Willy Russell and directed by Lee Lewis this timeless West End and Broadway comedy will take you on a journey of self-discovery, laughter, and second chances.
Shirley is an unassuming housewife with a dream—and a passport. Talking to her kitchen wall, she dreams of escape and wonders what happened to the adventurous girl she once was.
When a friend invites her on a spontaneous holiday to Greece, Shirley takes a bold leap into the unknown. With humour, charm and grit, she rediscovers her passion for life and her sense of self. Will she return to her old ways, or will Shirley find a new life where she can finally be her true self?
With Natalie Bassingthwaighte’s magnetic charm and powerhouse performance, this one-woman tour de force will have you laughing, crying, and cheering for Shirley’s bold new chapter.
Don’t miss this must-see theatrical event in Sydney! Whether you’re revisiting a beloved story or discovering it for the first time, Shirley Valentine will leave you inspired and uplifted.
DURATION: The production runs for approximately 2 hours and 5 minutes, including a 20-minute interval.
CONTENT WARNING: This production uses loud or unexpected noises, a music soundtrack, a total blackout, and contains coarse language.
GROUP BOOKING DISCOUNTS: Group booking discounts are available for Shirley Valentine. Varying discounts are available for Groups, Concession Groups, and School Groups.
