Wake Up To Morning Melodies At Proserpine Entertainment Centre

Get your sequins and jumpsuits ready as Morning Melodies is coming to the Proserpine Entertainment Centre, where Helpmann award winner Michael Griffiths and acclaimed cabaret darling Amelia Ryan celebrate the songbooks of Aussie icons Olivia Newton-John and Peter Allen.

From their modest small-town roots to global stardom clad in sequins and jumpsuits, take a nostalgic journey through Olivia and Peters sing-along classics—from "Rio" and "Tenterfield" to "Xanadu" and beyond. Expect a delightful blend of camp, with maracas shaking and heartfelt moments like Pete's tender gift to Olivia, "I Honestly Love You." Get ready for rollerskates, T-Birds, Pink Ladies, 80s jazzercise, and even an Oscar-winning tune!

"Livvy & Pete" first graced the stage in 2016 at the Ballarat Cabaret Festival and Adelaide's Feast Festival. Since then, it has captivated audiences at the Adelaide Fringe Festival (Garden of Unearthly Delights), The Hobart Spiegeltent, The Wollongong Spiegeltent, Vivaldi’s Canberra, Slide Sydney, the Adelaide Fringe Roadshow, and the Brisbane Cabaret Festival.
Head on down to the Proserpine entertainment centre for an evening filled with glitz, glamour, big hair and fantastic tunes, reminiscent of the ‘good ol’ days.’
