Join us for Broadway to Ballarat: The Haunted Theatre, an original musical revue showcasing the best that Broadway and Ballarat have to offer. Set in a rundown theatre inhabited by a motley collection of ghosts, this musical tells the story of what happens when the ghosts meet Mabel, a little girl who can see them.

Filled with drama, comedy, music and romance this show has a bit of everything and is sure to delight audiences of all ages, including dads who don’t usually like theatre!
This production will run from March 19-23 in the gorgeous, and appropriately heritage, Minerva Space at the Ballarat Mechanics Institute.

  • Show runs for 2.5 hours, plus a 20 minute interval.
  • Seating is ticketed, NOT general admission.

Patrons are advised that this show contains mature themes. Some scenes may frighten young children.

Tickets: $35 adults – $30 concession – $25 child plus ticket fee.
