The Mackay Musical Comedy Players are excited to announce their latest production, Downtown! The Mod Musical, a fun and energetic celebration of the swinging 1960s. This lively musical revue will hit the stage at Souths Leagues Club on Friday, November 8th, and Saturday, November 9th, 2024, for two groovy performances.
Downtown! The Mod Musical is packed with the timeless hits that defined a generation, including favourites like “Downtown,” “These Boots Are Made for Walkin’,” “To Sir With Love,” and more. Audiences will be transported back to the vibrant and colourful mod era, following the stories of five women navigating love, friendship, and the social changes of the '60s.
The production features a stellar cast of local talent, starring Cicely Baira (Orange Girl), Kellie Doherty (Gwendolyn Holmes), Danielle McCully (Green Girl), Samantha Munt (Blue Girl), Rachel Taylor (Red Girl), and Dana Vella (Yellow Girl). The talented cast will bring to life the excitement and energy of the '60s, with electrifying performances, dazzling costumes, and choreography that will have you tapping your feet all night long (with plenty of laughs along with way!)
Under the direction of Molly Gibbins, and Isabelle Wright, with choreography by Ebony Walker and music direction by Molly Bettridge, this production promises to be a standout event on Mackay’s theatrical calendar. The show features a talented live band, led by musical director Molly, alongside the skilled Sarah Rozekrans on keyboard and George Rogers on drums, adding an energetic and dynamic soundtrack to the performance.
When asked about the show, Isabelle Wright shared, “The music and stories of Downtown are infectious—it’s impossible not to get caught up in the fun and nostalgia of it all. Our cast is having a blast, and I know the audience will too!”
Downtown! The Mod Musical marks another exciting chapter in the rich history of the Mackay Musical Comedy Players. As their final production before celebrating their milestone 60th year in 2025, the group continues to build on their legacy of hit shows, including Shrek, Chicago, Mamma Mia, and The Addams Family. With such a strong legacy, this show is sure to be an unforgettable experience.
