Following sold out seasons in Sydney and Canberra, The Wharf Revue: Looking for Albanese comes to the Pavilion Performing Arts Centre Sutherland for two performances on Wednesday 15th and Thursday 16th of February.
It’s a new dawn, a new day, and a new captain at the helm of the ship state. Following inflation, rising interest rates, conflict in Ukraine, climate disaster, culture wars, COVID 19-20-21-22-23, and a looming World War Three – the Wharf Revue is back with its funniest political satire yet.
Inspired by the new national spirit of optimism that lasted for a week, The Wharf Revue: Looking for Albanese presents the audience with 90 minutes of sheer laughter in which they tackle the big-picture issues and leave no politician unscathed.
From the producers of “The Gospel According to Paul,” the show features the much-loved Jonathan Biggins, Phillip Scott, Drew Forsythe and Mandy Bishop, taking to the stage as politicians such as Julia Gillard, John Howard, Tony Abbott, Kevin Rudd, Pauline Hanson and Anthony Albanese. These legends of political satire have seen off seven Prime Ministers – come along and see what they do to the latest one in Looking for Albanese.
Rachel Healy, Pavilion Performing Arts Centre Interim Director said, “For over 20 years The Wharf Review has kept the flame of live political satire ablaze. This team’s sharp wit, brilliant mimicry and superb musicality are all grounded by the kind of downright stupidity that leaves its packed houses crying with laughter. After a recent sell-out season at the Seymour Centre, Looking for Albanese is heading to the home of political hilarity – the Sutherland Shire – and we’re thrilled to offer audiences keen to see the new Pavilion such a guaranteed great night out.”
The Wharf Revue: Looking for Albanese is a part of the inaugural program of world-class productions presented at the new Arts Centre in 2023.Since 1976, the Sutherland Entertainment Centre has brought performing arts to residents and visitors in the Sutherland Shire. The Sutherland Shire Council’s decision to invest $44 million into its refurbishment has transformed it into a vibrant space for arts in the heart of the local community. The opening of The Pavilion marks both an encouraging return to live performance and a fantastic affirmation of creativity to the people of Sydney’s south.
The Pavilion Performing Arts Centre Sutherland is the premier performing arts centre in the southern Sydney metropolitan area, strengthening local and regional cultural values, and connecting its community to entertainment and the arts.
