Yours Truly
Delving into the moments that bring two people together, the wonders they share and the heartache that life can bring during our journey to find eternal love. Yours Truly comprises two acts: Duets - a selection of Paul Malek’s most memorable and moving routines from his choreographic work on So You Think You Can Dance, Dancing With The Stars and numerous acclaimed theatrical productions. Act two is set against the backdrop of 1940s rural Australia and explores the heartbreaking stories of three couples separated by war.
