Almost everyone knows that annual Christmas movie, Love Actually, which follows several different groups of people and tangled love situations that eventually resolve.
Melbourne audiences are in for a treat with a tongue-in-cheek show, Love Actually? The Musical Parody, an off-Broadway production that is currently taking over the Athenaeum Theatre and runs until December 23.
The show follows nine quirky couples searching for love, and features lots of cute awkward moments, over the top gestures and laugh out loud moments that will have the audience chuckling.
Love Actually? The Musical Parody reflects the nostalgia of the original film, released 16 years ago, and comments humorously on love, relationships and the holiday spirt at this time of year.
Tunes are an important part of a musical parody, and audiences will hear songs like ‘He’s The Prime Minister of Roms Coms’ and ‘Keira Knightly Actually’.
Promoter Fred Porter is delighted to be bringing something to give audiences a fun Christmas theatrical treat.
“Love Actually has become an iconic film that is loved by many around the world, and this incredible production spreads Christmas cheer and joy – there is something for everyone,” he says.
The ensemble cast includes Ian Andrew (pictured), Sophie Loughran, Jeremy Harland, Belinda Jenkin, Mitchell Groves and Massimo Zuccara. Book in at ticketmaster.com.au for a night of laughs and fun.
