Return to the Forbidden Planet

To outerspace and down memory lane Buckle your seat beats for a wild ride on a musical spaceship with the cast of Return to the Forbidden Planet With a spaceship full of zany characters (and very good musicians) Return to the Forbidden Planet will take the audience on a wild journey through the hits of the 60s with songs such as Young Girl, Teenager in Love, Good Vibrations and Gloria amongst a stellar song-list. A Jukebox rock musical by Bob Carlton, the show is based on Shakespeare's The Tempest and the 1950s science fiction film Forbidden Planet. This musical beat Miss Saigon for Best Musical in the UK where it won 2 Olivier awards. It is full of familiar rock tunes and corny humour, with dialogue that parodies Shakespeare. Director Roslyn Johnson suggests locals lock in their seats on the spaceship quickly. “The cast are energetic and talented and this is a show where the audience truly does take the trip along with the cast,” she enthuses. “The songs are memorable, the setting galactic and the journey is not only into space, but back in time celebrating the hits of the 60s.” Return to the Forbidden Planet will run over 4 weeks from April 29 to May 21 at the Crete Street Theatre, Cnr Kent and Crete Streets Beenleigh, with performances held on Friday and Saturday nights starting at 7:30pm, and a matinee performance held on Saturday 7th, 14th and 21st starting at 2:00pm.
