Sydney’s freshest independent musical theatre company Birdie Productions presents 13, a musical featuring an all-child cast and band.
It revolves around a 13-year-old New Yorker Evan Goldman, who is very popular and has a ‘perfect’ family. But suddenly everything turns upside down when his parents get a divorce and he has to move with his mum to small-town Appleton, Indiana.
Directed by Meg Day with choreography by Ashlee Evans and musical direction by Paul Young, some of the young cast includes Noah Mullins, Scout Silbersher, Ethan Fuller, Skye Butcher and Joe Howe.
Day believes this is a show everyone can relate to, no matter the age: “Every-day teen struggles and decisions are played out on stage in a funny and honest way. 13 moves beyond the cheesy teen-musical formula with an empowering and refreshing exploration of growing up to find your place in the world.” (AMal)
Sept 25 – Oct 5, 8pm and 2pm. Bryan Brown Theatre, 80 Rickard Road, Bankstown. $32. Tickets & info: birdieproductions.com.au
