In roaring twenties Chicago, Roxie Hart murders a faithless lover and convinces her hapless husband Amos to take the rap... until he finds out he's been dumped and turns on Roxie. Convicted and sent to death row, Roxie and another "Merry Murderess" Velma Kelly, vie for the spotlight and the headlines, ultimately joining forces in search of the "American Dream": fame, fortune, and acquittal. Featuring songs such as "All That Jazz", "Razzle Dazzle" and "Cell Block Tango", join Darwin Musical Theatre in 1920's Chicago for this classic musical. Dressing in theme is encouraged! Photo opportunities available pre show.

After taking the U.S. by storm, Gabriel Murillo lands in Australia with Gordo y Feo — a spicy, brutal and gloriously incorrect stand-up comedy show. Gabriel is one of Colombia’s most powerful comedic voices right now: millions of views, sold-out theatres, and a loyal fanbase that loves his raw, no-filter humor. His three stand-up specials — Mi Primer Aborto, En Qué Piensas and En La Olla — have cemented him as an uncomfortable, honest and brutally funny voice, widely celebrated by both audiences and major media in Colombia.
