This December, Melbourne Shakespeare Company returns to the Rose Garden with a dazzling new musical reimagining of Shakespeare’s beloved comedy, As You Like It! Get ready for a high-energy outdoor spectacle, bursting with pop hits, slapstick comedy, and show-stopping dance numbers that bring the Forest of Arden to life like never before.
When Rosalind is banished from her uncle's court, she disguises herself as a boy and flees to the Forest of Arden, where love and laughter bloom. Alongside her cousin Celia, she encounters a cast of quirky characters, reunites with the dashing Orlando, and gets caught in a whirlwind of romance, mistaken identities, and comedic chaos. Packed with romance, laughter, and infectious energy, this must-see summer event is perfect for Shakespeare lovers and first-time audiences alike.
