The Messiah, 3-4 May at Gardens Theatre.  Tickets on sale now!

The Messiah rises again, at Gardens Theatre


What do three Matilda Awards, two newlyweds and one riotous send up have in common? The Messiah! Starring Brisbane's own Hayden Spencer, Carita Farrer and Jean-Marc Russ (pictured from right), The Messiah opens at Gardens Theatre next week (Thurs 3 May).


Newlyweds Spencer and Farrer took the matrimonial plunge late last year before embarking on The Messiah's 2007 national tour with their one-year-old son Moe in tow.

Each of the three actors play a myriad of roles; from Mary and Joseph, King Herod, the Archangel Gabriel via Balthasar to God Himself.

Spencer says The Messiah is refreshing because it doesn’t take itself too seriously.

“It’s unique because not only is it irreverent and silly, it’s also damn funny,” he said.
