A cabaret, a life-time in the making…

Childhood best friends and next-door neighbours Stephen Madsen and Ashleigh Rubenach are reuniting on the stage for one night only to deliver the concert their families could only dream of.

From self-devised Christmas musicals in Stephen’s front-yard all the way to the Kennedy Centre in Washington, DC, Stephen and Ashleigh have been a package-deal from day one. You’ve seen them in mainstage productions all over Australia, including Heathers, The Sound of Music, The View Upstairs, An American In Paris, Rent, Cry-Baby, Holding Achilles, Sweeney Todd and together in Muriel’s Wedding. Drawing from decades of shared material, ‘The Boy & Girl Next Door’ features tunes from Sondheim to High School Musical and everything in between. This De-Lovely evening with two Old Friends is not to be missed. Tickets on sale now!
