A Mum’s Night Out, But Make It Broadway: Encore! Lands in Melbourne This May

If your current “night out” looks like eating snacks in the dark while hiding from your kids… this is your upgrade.

Melbourne, this is your cue to leave the house for something that doesn’t involve a playground, a birthday party or negotiating screen time.

For three nights only, Encore! Songs from the Musicals is taking over the Regent Theatre, and it’s basically a greatest hits concert of every musical you forgot you loved until the first note hits.

Headlining is the iconic Caroline O’Connor, aka actual musical theatre royalty, backed by a seriously stacked cast and Orchestra Victoria. Translation: this is not your average “nice night out.” This is goosebumps, big vocals and the kind of energy that makes you remember you’re a person outside of school drop-offs.

We’re talking the songs you know. The ones you pretend you don’t know all the words to… but absolutely do.
Phantom.
Miss Saigon.
West Side Story.
Evita.
And more.

It’s nostalgic, dramatic, a little bit emotional and a very solid excuse to dress like an adult again.

Whether it’s date night, girls’ night or just a “please someone else talk to me about something other than lunchboxes” night, this is one of those rare experiences that actually feels worth the effort.
