Waltzing The Wilarra by David Milroy - Merimbula
"…a highly evocative musical tale of love, jealousy, friendship and family. It is a beautiful, heartfelt production about love and loss." – Australian Stage
From the producers of national tours of The Sapphires and The Sunshine Club comes a very special and entertaining night in the theatre. Performed by a stellar cast including Lorinda May Merrypor (Juliet in '& Juliet'), Shaka Cook ('Hamilton') and Lisa Maza ('Stingers') and backed by a live band.
Charlie, Elsa and Fay take you on a musical journey back to 1940s post-war Perth. Against a backdrop of curfews, and the fear of arrest for consorting, white and black manage to form their own club. For a night, they can forget their worries and experience rare happy times singing, dancing, listening to music, and with a little luck…romance.
Forty years on, as the club faces demolition, the three characters meet once again to stage a musical reunion and protest in an attempt to save their old stomping ground. As the trio reflects upon loves lost and found, old arguments and alliances resurface.
Dark secrets and ghosts that have lingered for more than half a century are revealed, and you discover that reconciliation is more than saying sorry.
