Co-Founders Nathan M Wright and Andrew Bevis (‘The Addams Family’, ‘The Prom’) announce that hit Broadway musical ‘Tootsie’ will make its highly anticipated Australian premiere this May, at Teatro at the Italian Forum in Sydney.
‘Tootsie’ further cements the company’s reputation for bringing acclaimed international premieres and blockbuster musicals to Australian audiences.
Award-winning director and choreographer Cameron Mitchell will helm the production, described by The New York Post as ‘Broadway’s funniest new musical’.
“‘Tootsie’ is the perfect feel-good musical for everyone. It has all the nostalgia of the 1982 Sydney Pollack film starring Dustin Hoffman with a hilarious new book and dazzling score,” Cameron Mitchell says. “I am very excited to work with the team at Teatro and bring this brand-new show to Sydney audiences. ‘Tootsie’ is laugh out loud funny, with a lot of heart and great song and dance numbers. Can’t wait!”
’Tootsie’, the stage show, is based on the Oscar-winning, beloved hit film, starring Dustin Hoffman. It’s won a Tony Award for Best Book Of A Musical, and been nominated for a further 11.
Fast-paced and outrageously funny, ‘Tootsie’ plays with identity, ambition, and ego. . . All while keeping the laughs coming.
’Tootsie’ plays Teatro at the Italian Forum (Sydney) from 26 May.
