'King Cross is a state of mind.

'No boundaries to its name, no limits to its life.

'But half a century later, has the Cross been crossed out?

'​Hidden Sydney - an immersive cabaret celebrating Kings Cross in the 50s, 60s and 70s.

​'Featuring an all-star ensemble cast including Rob Mills, Virginia Gay, Christa Hughes and Ben Gerrard.

​​​'An immersive, exhilarating and witty cabaret experience set over four floors of “The Nevada”, the former Sydney brothel which boasted the biggest bed in the world.

​'Quick-witted bouncers, madams of the night, drag queens, crooks, entertainers and eccentrics alike relive the world of the Cross during the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s....

'Immerse yourself in the stories of Bea Miles, Abe Saffron, Roie The Witch, Standover Jim and the iconic Les Girls. Rub shoulders with the crims and crooks of the day, finishing up with last drinks at the Chevron Silver Spade' (Production summary)
1 5 Little Orphan trAshley Trevor Ashley , Phil Scott , 2012 single work musical theatre 'Prepare for an uproarious "Orphan's Christmas" when Sydney Opera House presents an adults-only panto from the writing team that brought you the smash hit Fat Swan and the director of Smoke & Mirrors.

Ten-year-old little orphan Fannie (Trevor Ashley), has a terrible secret... one that she can't even share with her inmates at the Sutherland Shire Girl's Orphanage, let alone the boozy matron who runs the place: the evil Miss Trannigan (Rhonda Burchmore). The truth is: Fannie is not yet all woman. But, to get her gender-reassignment surgery, she'll have to find her true birth parents to get their permission.

Lucky for Fannie, she meets acclaimed photographer / multi-millionaire Daddy Warhorse (Gary Sweet) who promises to sponsor her! But can she survive a rigorous set of blind auditions, a very "arty" photo shoot and an appearance on evil talk-back radio personality Ellen Jones' show before she finds her parents?

To make her wish come true, Fannie may need more than just her trusty ex-sniffer dog Bullshit (Rhys Bobridge)... she may need a Christmas miracle!' (Source: Sydney Opera House website)
