Welcome to Underdog Anthems, a cabaret celebrating the unsung heroes and overlooked champions of the musical theatre stage. Step into a world where the spotlight isn't just for the leading man or the ingenue, but for the scrappy sidekick, the determined dreamer, and the character who steals the show when you least expect it.

We all know the iconic solos and soaring duets that define a musical's legacy, but what about the songs that fuel the fire of the underdog? The heartfelt ballad sung by a character striving for a better life? The comedic showstopper from the loyal friend who's had enough? Or the triumphant anthem from the person who finally gets their moment in the sun? These are the stories we're here to tell tonight.

From the rebellious spirits who refuse to conform to the unwavering hope of those who see the good in a challenging world, we've curated a setlist that champions the resilience, grit, and humour of those who refuse to be counted out. We’ll delve into the tender moments of self-discovery and the powerful declarations of independence. You’ll hear from the overlooked chorus member who longs for their shot at stardom, the friend who always stands by your side, and the character who finds their strength in the face of adversity.

Underdog Anthems is more than just a performance; it’s a tribute to the human spirit and a reminder that greatness can be found in the most unexpected places. It's a night of laughter, tears, and a whole lot of heart, celebrating the songs that give a voice to the voiceless. So grab a drink, settle in, and get ready to root for the little guy. Because tonight, the underdogs are finally getting their due. Join us as we raise a glass to the heroes who prove that you don't have to be the star to shine.
