Get Ready for a Glam-Punk Theatrical Revolution!
Strut into RISING with the off-Broadway sensation that's turning the rock musical genre on its perfectly-coiffed head! Fresh from slaying the Adelaide Festival with five-star reviews, this electrifying production stars the phenomenal Seann Miley Moore as Hedwig – a fierce East Berlin 'girly boy' whose American dreams crash-land in Kansas.
Backed by a powerhouse band of Korean-born military wives and dressed to kill by queer fashion icons Nicol & Ford, this Tony Award-winning musical serves pure fishnets and fury. Experience show-stopping numbers like 'The Origin of Love,' 'Midnight Radio,' and 'Sugar Daddy' in this 95-minute spectacular that's equal parts hilarious and heartbreaking.
