You’ve seen the Spice Girls, Little Mix and Destiny’s Child. Now, it’s time for The Sensation Girls to hit the stage, in the world premiere of ‘Girl Band’.

Set in 1994, New Ghosts Theatre Company’s ‘Girl Band’ sees powerhouse record label managers Craig and Darren create the girl band to end all girl bands. But, with the girls so precisely moulded to become the girls that everyone wants, they end up losing themselves in the process.

Written by Katy Warner and directed by Lucy Clements, the show sees ‘90s nostalgia brought to the stage with an empowering twist.

“Our impressive 22 female and non-binary theatre maker team and I are thrilled to be a part of the birth of this exhilarating and inspiring new Australian play, bringing together original ‘90s beats, Spice Girl inspired choreography, and six of the feistiest pop stars you’ve ever seen hit the stage,” Clements said.

‘Girl Band’ is staged with the support of National Theatre of Parramatta’s True West Program, celebrating the talent and creativity of western Sydney artists, and Clements’ IGNITE Collective, a ground-breaking initiative that partners emerging and established female playwrights and creatives to create new work for young female performers, putting new women-driven stories on Australian stages.

So get into a ‘90s mood and head to the Riverside later this month.

‘Girl Band’ will be on at Riverside Theatres from Thursday, May 18 to Saturday, May 27. For more information or to book, visit riversideparramatta.com.au.

Ê Highly anticipated new Channel Nine reality adventure series ‘The Summit’ will premiere on Sunday, May 14 at 7pm. Hosted by actor Jai Courtney, ‘The Summit’ sees 14 strangers try and win $1 million, equally divided between them, as they carry the cash to the top of one of New Zealand’s highest peaks.

Ê One of the surprise packets over the last couple of years, ‘The Cheap Seats’, is returning to 10 next Tuesday, May 9 at 8.40pm. Tim McDonald and Melanie Bracewell take a look at the week that was in their own unique way.

Ê Casting is underway for the next season of ‘Australian Survivor’. If you’ve ever wanted to be part of one of the greatest shows of all-time, this is your chance! For more details and to apply, visit eu.castitreach.com/ag/esgau/australiansurvivor9/welcome.html.
