ONE bride plus two grooms equals one very funny production.
Two Weddings, One Bride, now playing at the Sydney Opera House's The Playhouse, serves up plenty of laughs alongside beautiful music with some of the world's most-loved tunes and favourite operetta waltz, polkas and songs by Strauss, Offenbach, Lehar and Kalman.
The production is loosely based on the quirky and entertaining story by Charles Lecocq, filled with plot twists and turns.
It follows a fiscally challenged governor who devises a plan to marry off his twin daughters to just the right suitors to dig himself out of debt.
Under the guise of director Dean Bryant (Anything Goes, Rocky Horror Picture Show), soprano Julie Lea Goodwin, tenors Nicholas Jones and David Lewis, celebrated baritones Andrew Jones and John Bolton Wood and theatre royalty Geraldine Turner bring Two Weddings, One Bride to life.
"Two Weddings, One Bride is a very humorous piece, it's like a French farce all set to fabulous music that people will know straight away," said Opera Australia's artistic director Lyndon Terracini.
"This production is really out there, it's for people who want to have a fun time, have a laugh, hear some music they know and love and see some terrific performances from some of Australia's finest singers."
- Two Weddings, One Bride runs until October 22.
