The team behind the “Gladys” Covid videos present a new musical comedy about Gladys Berejiklian, “The Woman Who Saved Australia” but couldn’t save herself.
A crack team of multi-instrumentalists and comedians takes you through her early life and her flawless leadership through two disasters, until her biggest disaster, “Dodgy” Daryl from Wagga Wagga.
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, Armenian matchmaking, tap dancing and even more musical press conferences.
Get in line at Riverside Theatres after their sold-out premiere at Sydney Fringe!
"Political satire at its finest. A rollicking ride through Covid and the ICAC inquiry."
