Carousel by Melbourne Insider

You know the songs. You know the ending. So why see it live? 🎭 Because playing ABBA in the car feels very different from hearing those songs in a theatre full of people. The laughter. The applause. That moment the whole room goes quiet. ✨ Melbourne theatre producer Andrew G has produced Mamma Mia, The Sound of Music, Legally Blonde and Once. He believes familiar stories give people a reason to get off the couch and into the theatre. And those tickets do more than fill seats. 🎟️ They pay performers, musicians and crew. They create jobs. They help make the next show possible. For Melbourne Insider, Andrew shares why the stories we already love deserve another night on stage. 👇 Which musical would you happily see again? 💬 Comment “SEND” and we’ll send you the article.
