An all-new, original Australian musical comedy is making its world premiere in May 2024… Trust us, you won’t want to miss out on this one!
The Grandparents Club, written by Australian comedy legend Wendy Harmer, is set to bring generations together and celebrate the world of grandparenting. Featuring the music of multi-award-winning Composer and Music Director John Field, the 90-minute revue is sure to bring tears to your eyes as well as lots of laughter as the cast acts out a story written especially for the “overlooked and underappreciated” grandparents.
Who will star in The Grandparents Club?
Beloved Australian actress Lynne McGranger, best known for her role in Home and Away, will appear as Liz, a regular at the Club’s famous bar, cafe and spa.
McGranger will appear alongside Laurence Coy as Jimmy Bigelow, Club president and host, and fellow regulars Maria and Jeff, played by Meredith O’Reilly and Andrew James.
“I am thrilled to be involved with the wonderful new Australian musical comedy The Grandparents Club which celebrates Grandparents in all their glory,” McGranger said of her new role.
“I am going back to my roots on stage with three extraordinarily talented theatrical actors… [and] so excited to be working with the doyenne of Australian comedy Wendy Harmer, the much-heralded director Luke Joslin and the exceptionally talented MD John Field.”
