Entries close on 28 October. \nThe Australian premiere tour of the Tony Award nominated Broadway musical sees Sydney local Christian Charisiou star in his breakout title role as jilted-groom and nice guy Robbie Hart\, lauded by critics as “even funnier than Adam Sandler”.

We’ve had to cancel and reschedule performances\, make incredibly quick decisions to move cast and crew around the country\, and think on our feet more times than we can count. After all of this\, I feel incredibly fortunate to announce these new season dates and could not be more excited to welcome audiences back to the theatre” says David. \n“It’s a testament to our amazing cast and creatives\, that we’ve had such a phenomenal response to the show and are able to continue the tour. We can’t wait to party with some all-out ‘80s fun!” \nCrowd favourite Stephen Mahy (The Rocky Horror Picture Show\, Saturday Night Fever\, Mamma Mia!)\, was one of the original Jersey Boys and has a dedicated fan base Australia wide. The versatile performer perfectly personifies the role of slimy Wall Street poster boy Glen Guglia. \nRounding out the critically-acclaimed lead cast\, Nadia Komazec (School Of Rock\, Matilda) stars as the fabulously fun\, Madonna-esque costume clad Holly\, Ed Deganos (The Lion King) as the iconic George\, celebrated character performer Susan-ann Walker (Xanadu\, Les Misérables) as Robbie’s naughty beat-boxing Grandma Rosie\, true triple threat Kirby Burgess (Barnum\, Dirty Dancing) in the jaw-dropping role of Robbie’s villainous ex-girlfriend Linda\, Haydan Hawkins (Miss Saigon\, Into The Woods) as Sammy\, and dynamite talent Hollie James (Shrek the Musical\, Rocky Horror Show) as Angie. \nThe Tony nominated musical is directed by multi-Green Room Award nominated directorAlister Smith\, with a sparkling new soundtrack brought to life by Musical Director Daniel Puckey (Muriel’s Wedding The Musical\, The Book of Mormon\, The Wizard of Oz).  \nFollowing a Green Room Award for his work on Bring It On: The Musical\, choreographer Michael Ralph (Georgy Girl\, The Boy From Oz) has crafted explosive dance routines jam-packed with iconic ‘80s references. \nDavid Venn Enterprises is known for its acclaimed Australian premiere production of Lin Manuel Miranda’s Bring It On: The Musical\, as well as 50 Shades! The Musical Parodywhich continued touring Australia in 2021. \nFollowing performances on Broadway and across the UK\, The Wedding Singer features your favourite characters from the film\, music by Matthew Sklar (Elf The Musical)\, lyrics by Chad Beguelin (Aladdin)\, and a book by Beguelin and Tim Herlihy. A long-time collaborator of Adam Sandler\, Tim wrote the classic hit films Happy Gilmore and Billy Maddison\, as well as several other Sandler-starring blockbusters in addition to The Wedding Singer. \nCOVID Safe measures will be in place for all performances\, as per government regulations.

SUMMARY:Aja: Crown
DESCRIPTION:“It’s a meditative rumination on Black spirituality\, race\, gender and sexuality that incorporates hip-hop and elements tied to the Lukumi faith from Nigeria.\nIt’s not the usual mix of club beats and catchphrases we’ve come to expect from “Drag Race” grads. And that’s just fine by Aja.” \n-Joey Guerra\, Houston Chronicle. \nAja spent the months of quarantine pushing the boundaries of their creativity into a whole new direction\, in music\, dance\, video\,fashion\, and a whole new outlook on life. The result: their new album\, CROWN.\nAja will be performing the full album live for the first time on Thursday\, June 24 at Caveat. \nGeneral admission tickets are  $22 in advance / $25 at the door. VIP tickets that include reserved seating and a post-show meet-and-greet are $35 in advance / $40 at the door. \nThere is no drink minimum at this venue. Tickets may be purchased at www.caveat.nyc.  Caveat is located at 21A Clinton Street between Houston and Stanton Streets on the Lower East Side — accessible from the F/J/M/Z trains at Delancey-Essex. \nCROWN incorporates themes of spirituality\, fame\, race\, class\, gender\, and sexuality.\nIf you only know Aja from RuPaul’s Drag Race\, your eyes will be opened by this explosive new performance. Come and see Aja. Get Crowned. \nAs Aja recently told Michael Cook in an interview for Instinct Magazine\, “My album honestly is a collection of stories told in chronological order about my life and my road to the crown. The crown representing completion\, fulfillment\, an elevated sense of self\, pride and self-love. It wraps into my beliefs in a way also; in my spiritual faith\, we have a term called ‘crowning.’ I feel like the people that listen to this are going to get to know me for who I am.” \nAll attendees must present proof of full vaccination to enter. Proof can be via the New York State Excelsior pass\, a physical copy of the CDC card\, a photo of your CDC card\, or other electronic record of\nvaccination includes name and date (e.g.\, some chain pharmacies have an app with this information). In all cases the name must match that on your photo ID. \nBorn and raised in Bedford–Stuyvesant\, Brooklyn\, Aja is queer artist and musician best known for competing on the ninth season of RuPaul’s Drag Race and on the third season of RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars. Aja released their debut EP\, In My Feelings\, in 2018\, followed by their debut studio album\, BOX Office\, in February 2019. Their second EP\, ALL CAPS\, was released in June 2019.

SUMMARY:My Drag Story
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras in association with FEM Presents \nCurated by Anthony Carthew and hosted by Amelia Airhead \nWith Priscilla\, Queen of the Desert  stamped on our national identity and Drag Race sashaying across screens there’s no doubt drag has sunk its six-inch heels into the mainstream. \nFabulous glamour\, outrageous shade and shouts of ‘Yaas queen!’ or ‘G’day darl!’ are now familiar scenes not only along our inner-city rainbow strips but across our suburban landscape of pubs\, clubs and backyards. \nFrom the heady days of Oxford Street’s “Golden Mile” to the diverse fabulousness many decades later – our nation’s alumni of drag artists have proudly carved a cheeky and quintessentially Aussie path through our cultural playbook. \nThe ultimate expression of queerness\, drag has often been a defiant voice for our communities – in a passionate celebration of pride and rage against injustice. \nPremiering to rave reviews at the 2021 festival\, My Drag Story uncorsets a brand spanking\, glittery new line up of drag legends and up-and-coming royalty including Bee Dazzled Shanks Prince of Redfern\, Dizzy Bility\, Dorreen Manganini\, Minnie Cooper and the one and only Miss 3D. \nTickets now on sale.

DESCRIPTION:Presented by Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras in partnership with Equality Australia \nWhether it’s attempts to ‘cure’ us or experiences of discrimination at school or work\, LGBTQI+ people face threats to their safety and wellbeing every day in the name of religion. \nWhile it’s clear that most Australians support LGBTQI+ people\, extremist Christian lobby groups are pouring resources into campaigns to stigmatise and marginalise our communities\, particularly transgender people. \nIt’s time to build a strong movement for equality that includes us all. \nIn this free-to-attend 1.5-hour forum\, you will hear from LGBTQI+ people of faith\, religious leaders and activists including Karen Pack\, a teacher who was sacked by a Sydney Christian college for being gay; Equality Australia Legal Director Ghassan Kassisieh; Australia’s first gay Imam Nur Wasame; Australia’s first transgender priest Jo Inkpin and Dr Kerryn Phelps. ABC presenter and current-affairs journalist Fran Kelly will facilitate the conversation. \nBring your rage\, your solidarity and your curiosity as SGLMG partners with Equality Australia and learn how you can help ensure that we are all free to work\, study and live with dignity. \nTickets are free but registration is essential due to COVID-19 regulations – sign up HERE.

SUMMARY:Sydney Pride Festival 2021
DESCRIPTION:The Sydney Pride Festival is a special time for the LGBTQI community as we remember the history and celebrate the present and look forward to a day when everyone is Equal. Sydney Pride Festival is a not for profit event. \nThe Sydney Pride Festival 2021 “Diversity\, Equality and Inclusion” will launch at Stonewall Hotel on Thursday 3rd June. Sydney Pride Festival will run from the 3rd June until the 30th June 2021.\n\nThis year’s Pride theme is “Diversity\, Equality and Inclusion” this ensures fair treatment and opportunity for all of us to move forward together as we create a better future.\n\n2020 Sydney Pride Festival went online with Love stream and in a challenging year of COVID and lockdowns we stayed connected to the LGBTQIA community. LGBTQIA community and our allies could log into our pride events and we were able to reach a wider online audience. The amazing Global Pride broadcast allowed us to see our friends around the world coming together in a 24 hour special.\n\nPride will continue to have an online presence as well as live events in 2021. Sydney Pride Festival will focus on helping rebuild our community and work closely with organizations\, venues\, theatres and charities to create exciting events in this grass roots festival. Many LGBTQIA businesses\, festivals and venues around the world have closed through the pandemic and some will never return. Here in Australia we have been lucky but it has not been easy. Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras has given us hope and on Saturday 6th march they created an amazing first major event since the pandemic started. Mardi Gras was our last big celebration in 2020 and our first bright light in 2021.\n\nSydney pride festival will remember the Riots of 1969 at the Stonewall Inn Greenwich Village. The Heroes that lead the way and fought for our rights over 50 years ago. The beginning of the modern gay movement and the inspiration to the 78er’s who paved the way in Sydney. The LGBTQI community are all under one fabulous Umbrella and together we continue to create change and acceptance.\n\nHomosexuality is no longer illegal in Australia\, Marriage Equality has been achieved and our community has shown that the Riots of 1969 will always be remembered as the beginning of the Pride Movement.\nCOVID has made us stronger and more determined than ever to look after each other. Loss of Jobs\, Mental Health and fear of the pandemic have had an effect on all of us. We must learn to care and except people who are from different cultures\, have different views and come together and have pride in our community. How we interact through discussion\, education and understanding is important to our future.\n\nSydney Pride Festival is a grass roots festival and a time to pass on the history and raise awareness and education of our LGBTQI Charities and organizations. This year we will be putting a focus on the strength of our Community and remember our pursuit for acceptance and total Equality for all our LGBTQI people. Sydney Pride can reach out and help those struggling with Sexual identity\, bullying\, drugs or just feeling that life is too hard to stand strong and ask for help. Standing Together in Solidarity. This is Pride! We are proud\, We are diverse\, We are equal and We are united.\n\nSydney Pride Festival is a not for profit event and supports a wide range of LGBTQI Charities\, Organizations and businesses. This Sydney Pride festival will include events throughout Sydney that are fun and affordable for everyone. The events will raise much needed funds for Charity and showcase our community\, our struggles and our achievements.\n\nLast year the festival contained over 90 online events. The festival will feature Art\, Cinema\, Trivia\, Debates\, Sports\, Stories and entertainment available on our Love stream. The Sydney Pride Festival would like to thank the volunteers\, event organizers\, sponsors and LGBTQI community and all our friends for all their continued support.\n\nWe are currently seeking expressions of interest in holding events.\nGlenn Hansen\nSydney Pride Festival 2021\nEmail: info@sydneypride.com
