After the success of 2022’s “Unsung”, Antipodes Theatre Company is thrilled to announce its return! A concert fundraiser featuring some of Melbourne's best singers and comedians performing songs from musical theatre roles they wouldn't traditionally be cast in. This event will be a fun-filled night of stories, songs, and celebrating Antipodes' commitment to providing an inclusive and collaborative environment for independent theatre in Melbourne. All proceeds from the event will go toward supporting Antipodes programming, including new work development and artist residencies.

Hosted by David Butler

Antipodes has strived to maintain a minimum of 50% representation – on stage and off – by women, ethnically diverse artists, people with disability, trans and non-binary people, seniors, or other members of historically or culturally marginalised communities who are not well represented on stage. Previous projects include the Australian premieres of Dave Malloy’s Ghost Quartet (two seasons, two Green Room Award nominations), Harrison David Rivers’ And She Would Stand Like This, Stew and Heidi Rodewald’s Passing Strange, the Victorian premiere of Sam Martin’s Sam I Am, and our annual Winter Lab for new work and bold ideas. Brooklyn Runaways, Antipodes’ cabaret and live event arm, presents gigs throughout the year including the annual Midsumma Festival event Bowie Ball.
