Riverside Theatres and Hayes Theatre Co Presents
DUBBO CHAMPIONSHIP WRESTLING
Book & Lyrics by Daniel Cullen, Music by Daniel & James Cullen
★★★★★ “Dubbo Championship Wrestling is absolutely over the top, and it’s just about the most bloody fun you can have on a night at the theatre.” – TimeOut
★★★★ “an absolute hoot… one of the most entertaining nights I’ve had in a long time: a real smackdown of a show” – Limelight
There’s not a spare seat in the Dubbo Dome. Ozzy the Aussie Battler flicks his cape and steps into the ring, and the crowd go troppo.
This is Dubbo Championship Wrestling, the hilarious new Aussie rock musical that will change everything you thought you knew about professional wrestling, regional Australia, and musical theatre itself.
Rose, a young woman from Dub-Vegas with wrestling in her blood, has long ago turned her back on the family business and Dubbo’s stifling small-town ways. When circumstance brings her back to her hometown on the eve of Dubbomania, the biggest wrestling tournament of the year, Rose is drawn into a monumental battle over family and identity, featuring capes, choreography, and some of the most colourful characters you’ll ever meet.
The violence, the joy, the costumes, the thumbtacks. Will there be blood? We bloody hope so. Dubbo Championship Wrestling, written by rising stars Daniel and James Cullen and directed by smackdown champion Sheridan Harbridge, has been developed through Hayes Creative Development.
