Wickedly funny singer, songwriter and satirist Denis Carnahan will bring his one-man, cult hit musical comedy show, ‘Cricket The Musical’, around Australia.
It marks a triumphant return to the stage and will play in Perth, Brisbane, Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney from November 2025 through to January 2026. ‘Cricket The Musical’ will follow the English Cricket Team’s tour of Australia.
“The 2025/26 cricket season is destined to be filled with controversy and pantomime, from the World Test Championship to the West Indies series, followed by the always hilarious touring English Cricketers,” Denis Carnahan says. “They’re still smarting from the Farce of the Wandering Bairstow, and sure to bring the slapstick of Bazball.”
“Add to that the drama of last season’s Indian shoulder charges and send offs and the burlesque of the Big Bash, and you have more comic narratives than any music theatre librettist could ever dream of!
“So I can’t think of a better time to tour ‘Cricket The Musical’ and bring people together around their shared love of the game than while the energy is high and the crowds are buzzing around the country this summer.”
Denis will use his unique, satirical spin to review all the stand-out moments from the summer’s cricket, along with the game’s history of treachery, villainy, facial hair, and illegal abrasives.
Be prepared to boo the villains and cheer on the heroes, as ‘Cricket The Musical’ brings songs to life on stage with videos, sketches, and caricatures celebrating the many controversies of the summer’s matches.
