Steel Magnolias
The iconic story that made us laugh, cry, and fall in love with six extraordinary women is back — live on stage in a dazzling new Australian production. Written by Robert Harling, the timeless tale of Steel Magnolias comes alive under the direction of Lee Lewis and a cast of six powerhouse actors.
Step inside Truvy’s beauty salon, the heart of a small Southern US town, where local women share their joys, struggles and a little neighbourly gossip. From weddings and babies to divorces and funerals, they face life’s highs and lows with humour, courage and impeccably styled hair. When tragedy strikes, it’s in these familiar walls that they find comfort, support and the unbreakable bonds of friendship that carry them through.
Bursting with sass, warmth and Southern charm, Steel Magnolias delivers laughter, love and unforgettable heart.
