Join professors Lexi Con and Noel Edge (the Word Nerd and the Science Freak) for a thrilling voyage through the alphabet – where great big chewy sesquipedalian words inspire mind-blowing scientific surprises. Professor Lexi Con has curated a curious collection of her favourite words (one for every letter of the alphabet) with each word providing Professor Noel Edge with an inspirational jumping off point for 26 quirky scientific demonstrations – that squish and squirt, float and fly, erupt and explode. Together, this dad-joke quipping, prank-pulling pair of polished professors strut their stuff in a performance that’s equal parts explosive, messy, spectacular, hilarious, fascinating and gross. And if things weren’t exciting enough, every show is completely different, with audiences determining the order in which the letters are revealed and explored.
Plus, did we mention, this is a race? The plucky pair of professors have just 52 minutes to complete their alphabetical, scientifical countdown. That’s just 2 minutes per experiment! Will they make it in time...?
Brace yourself for an immersive hour of carefully crafted alphabetical, scientifical (award-winning!) chaos!

REBEL
David Bowie Glam Rock Circus
Rebel is a live circus rock tribute to the original rebel, David Bowie. Stage dive into the mosh pit for a night of live music, glittering glam rock, phenomenal acrobatics, breathtaking aerials and spectacular heart stopping sideshow. Live music combined with circus and comedy brings to life an incredible body of work that spanned over 50 years, and an aesthetic that broke ground and inspired generations.
Rebel has been inspired by the words of Bowie; "I want to tart rock up. I don't want to climb out of my fantasies in order to go up on stage—I want to take them on stage with me.” Rebel is your Bowie fantasies realised - a live band, breathtaking circus, spectacular rock and roll sideshow. Rebel is much more than a tribute show, with aesthetics and theatricality inspired Bowie and fed into a live rock and roll circus extravaganza.
Headlined by the incredible multi-award winning Stewart Reeve, and featuring an rockstar band of artists from across artistic genres and co-created by Highwire Entertainment, the production house behind Rouge, Papillon and Pop Party Throwdown among others, Rebel is a non-stop circus rock and roll party.

Join these classically-trained Aussie larrikins on a musical journey around the world. Songs from Spain, Cuba, France, Italy, Norway, England, the U.S., Australia, everywhere man...
Tenori employs the talents of three of Australia's powerhouse singers: David Kidd, Stewart Morris and Andrew Pryor. With a combined sixty years international experience in the industry, these polished professionals know exactly how to put on a dynamic, uplifting and hugely entertaining show.
The three met while touring internationally with The Ten Tenors, performing in venues such as London’s Royal Albert Hall, The Pantages Theatre in LA and the Sydney Opera House. After some time apart working with Opera Australia, Opera Queensland and many of the country’s finest orchestras, they are back together doing what they do best.
Tenori has quickly established a formidable reputation and is known for juxtaposing high-quality singing with a large dash of cheeky humour. They are equally at home crooning with a solo piano in a cabaret bar or rocking out with a big band onboard the iconic Queen Mary 2.
Individually, they have beautiful voices. Together they sing like the band of brothers they are, with the camaraderie and precision that more than a decade of harmonising together can bring.
“Tenori have perfected an entertaining mash-up of opera, musical theatre, jazz and pop.” The Australian

Deck the Halls with BUDDY HOLLY and celebrate all that is Christmas with an incredible collection of Christmas favourites performed by Scott “Buddy” Cameron and his band.
Hear the Christmas classics: ‘Santa Clause Is Coming To Town’, ‘Jingle Bells Rock’, ‘Blue Christmas’, ‘Little Drummer Boy’ as well as some Buddy Holly rock ‘n’ roll classics like ‘Peggy Sue’, ‘Rave On’, ‘Oh Boy’ and ‘It’s So Easy’. It’s a show that has had outstanding reviews everywhere its toured, full of energy and vitality, along with blindingly accurate and faithful recreations of the hits, as you remember hearing them.
Donning Holly’s trademark horn-rimmed glasses, his ever so engaging and charismatic figure and a lilting vocal hiccup is Scott Cameron as he returns to the role that made him famous. Scott "Buddy" Cameron - as he became known – was a childhood guitar prodigy in Australia sharing stages with Tommy & Phil Emmanuel, Slim Dusty, Jade Hurley, Glen Shorrock, Ross Wilson, Keith Urban, Doug Parkinson & Brian Cadd. In 2004 however he found his calling answering an audition call for the Buddy Holly Story musical. His uncanny look, eerily similar voice and guitar prowess, transformed Scott to become the single most recognised Buddy Holly performer in the world! Receiving the support of Buddy Holly's family and friends including The Peggy Sue, Holly’s Widow Maria Elena and Bob Montgomery (who wrote with Buddy and penned the song Heartbeat). Scott had a remarkable run of rave reviews for his portrayal of Holly in the lead role of the International musical Buddy: The Buddy Holly Story in productions staged from 2005 through to 2009. The musical took Scott all over the world including London’s West End. Australian audiences last had the musical in 2009 which played for over a year and toured to Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne & Adelaide even receiving a Civil reception from the City of Adelaide.
In 15 years Scott has performed as Holly over 2000 times, sold more than 1 million tickets, broken 5 pairs of glasses and knee slid through countless pairs of paints. Scott was also the international lead in Memories Of Buddy Holly, The Class of 59, Elvis meets Buddy, Buddy & Roy and several other touring productions and has even appeared as Holly on film in America.
Scott is joined on stage by a 3-piece band including some of the finest Australian and international players.
