It was hailed a smash hit by critics and audiences alike.
Undateable. Unemployable. Unstoppable.
Stuck in a dead-end life in Porpoise Spit, Muriel dreams of the perfect wedding – the white dress, the church, the attention.
Unfortunately, there’s one thing missing: a groom. Following her dreams to Sydney, Muriel ends up with everything she ever wanted – a man, a fortune and a million social media followers.
That’s when things start to go really wrong.
RSVP to the wedding of the year and enjoy this eccentric, laugh-out-loud musical based on the iconic Australian film.
