Gladys: A Musical Affair is an absolute must for NSW theatre lovers. It’s loud, cheeky, and seriously funny — a total festival highlight that turns political drama into a toe-tapping musical packed with sass and satire. It’s clever, catchy, and no surprise it sold out at the Jetty Theatre. Audiences loved it and the post-show buzz was palpable! The cast were super down-to-earth, no drama, just straightforward fun to be around. Highly recommend checking it out!
