MARVELous The Show

Fresh from rapturously received Sydney and Melbourne seasons, MARVELous The Show is returning to Sydney for a strictly limited season at Riverside Theatre from Friday 14 March to Saturday 22 March.

With a rock-infused soudndtrack, a breathtaking stage design, and a cast of exceptional acrobats, vocalists, dancers an high-flying aerialists, MARVELous The Show is a dynamic blend of parody, hilarity and impressive live performances – all delivered with a satiric and risqué edge.

Stage Whispers:

A cleverly created Marvel parody lands with spectacular delivery the stunt work, athleticism, flying high wire stunts, and pole dancing are simply amazing.

The production showcases well known and loved superheroes including Thor, Black Widow, Deadpool, Scarlet Witch, Spider-Man, Iron Man and more as they’ve never been seen before, in outrageous and unexpected subversions of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

MARVELous The Show is also packed with pop culture easter eggs and is heavily woven with references to beloved films like Dirty Dancing, Magic Mike, Flashdance and The Greatest Showman, providing a little something for everyone.

Award-winning designer Dan Potra (Sweeney Todd at Southbank London, La Boheme on the Harbour for Opera Australia, The Barber Of Seville for Houston Grand Opera) has created an extraordinary stage design to complement the many wild skills on display, with lighting design by James Wallis (Hayes Theatre’s recent productions of City of Angels and Bonnie & Clyde) and choreography by Emma Wong.

MARVELous co-creator and director, Samwise Holmes:

MARVELous is a production we’ve been building for five years. We wanted to create a show that was unexpectedly spectacular, and I think we’ve achieved that.

We focused on creating a great show first and a Marvel parody second – it’s been an exciting ride just seeing where we could take it and how far we can push the boundaries of what people would expect.

We are so proud of the show we’ve put together and can’t wait to share it once again with Sydney.

MARVELous would leave Chris Evans in a laughing fit, have Chris Hemsworth’s sides splitting, and make Robert Downey Jr.’s heart sing.’ Lilithia Reviews

MARVELOUS is a must-see for anyone who loves their superheroes with a side of sass.’ The Plus Ones

MARVELous The Show is an irreverent, R-rated, musical parody of the Marvel Cinematic Universe that had fans squealing with delight.’ The Blurb
