The Music of Love Actually Live On Stage

 All I want for Christmas is you... 

Christmas Actually is the ultimate silly-season starter, bursting with nativity lobsters, cinnamon sticks and endless fun!

Starring Australian cabaret icon Libby O’Donovan OAM, Christmas Actually will deliver all the hits from your favourite festive soundtrack, wrapped up with a sprig of holly and bucketloads of comedy and charm. 

Don’t miss this absolute (Christmas) cracker of a show!
