Gladys: A Musical Affair at the Jetty Memorial Theatre

2025 Jetty Theatre Season Show. A Rheinberger and Wilson Production Spawned from the YouTube sensation during our dark covid times, “Gladys: A Musical Affair” is a new musical journey about the alleged life of Gladys Berejiklian, from her tireless leadership through fire and pandemic disasters, to her biggest disaster: Dodgy Daryl from Wagga Wagga. As Gladys’s secret life with Dodgy Daryl became exposed in ICAC phone taps, “The Woman Who Saved Australia” but couldn’t save herself, gave us all the makings of a classic fall from grace. You’ll hear torch songs and big musical numbers from Gladys, a bit of country from Daryl, some stern words from Kerry Chant, and even some Armenian matchmaking music. This show is not just a musical comedy: it’s a document of the strange bushfire and covid years we all went through. With music and lyrics by ABC Radio’s Nick Rheinberger, Tia Wilson returns as Gladys in several colourful blazers. It’s got big rock numbers, epic ballads, tap dancing and even more musical press conferences. Get in line for the first performance in Coffs Harbour after a sold out premiere at Sydney Fringe!
