Ladies and gentlemen Itrsquos almost time to slick your hair and wear your buckle shoes You are about to be razzle dazzled out of your seat

The musical lsquoChicagorsquo is on its way Proudly presented by the Highlands Theatre Group this award winning show is both devilish and delightful

Under the skilful direction of Barbara Handley this exciting production

promises to deliver a satirical tale of merry murderesses and the desire for fame and fortune set beneath the bright lights of 1920rsquos Chicago

This story moves at gunshot pace and you will be singing along to one show stopping number after another When you consider that each member of this outstanding cast from the dancers to the musicians is highly experienced it comes as no surprise to discover that the Highlands Theatre Group is one of only three companies in NSW to be allowed the privilege of staging such a glittering and powerful show

Barbara Handley who once played Matron lsquoMamarsquo Morton herself gladly came out of her tentative retirement of two years when the opportunity arose to direct one of her all time favourite musicals

This will be theatre at its best and a musical experience not to be missed

Ladies and gentlemen Itrsquos almost time to slick your hair and wear your buckle shoes You are about to be razzle dazzled out of your seat

The musical lsquoChicagorsquo is on its way Proudly presented by the Highlands Theatre Group this award winning show is both devilish and delightful

Under the skilful direction of Barbara Handley this exciting production

promises to deliver a satirical tale of merry murderesses and the desire for fame and fortune set beneath the bright lights of 1920rsquos Chicago

This story moves at gunshot pace and you will be singing along to one show stopping number after another When you consider that each member of this outstanding cast from the dancers to the musicians is highly experienced it comes as no surprise to discover that the Highlands Theatre Group is one of only three companies in NSW to be allowed the privilege of staging such a glittering and powerful show

Barbara Handley who once played Matron lsquoMamarsquo Morton herself gladly came out of her tentative retirement of two years when the opportunity arose to direct one of her all time favourite musicals

This will be theatre at its best and a musical experience not to be missed

Ladies and gentlemen Itrsquos almost time to slick your hair and wear your buckle shoes You are about to be razzle dazzled out of your seat

The musical lsquoChicagorsquo is on its way Proudly presented by the Highlands Theatre Group this award winning show is both devilish and delightful

Under the skilful direction of Barbara Handley this exciting production

promises to deliver a satirical tale of merry murderesses and the desire for fame and fortune set beneath the bright lights of 1920rsquos Chicago

This story moves at gunshot pace and you will be singing along to one show stopping number after another When you consider that each member of this outstanding cast from the dancers to the musicians is highly experienced it comes as no surprise to discover that the Highlands Theatre Group is one of only three companies in NSW to be allowed the privilege of staging such a glittering and powerful show

Barbara Handley who once played Matron lsquoMamarsquo Morton herself gladly came out of her tentative retirement of two years when the opportunity arose to direct one of her all time favourite musicals

This will be theatre at its best and a musical experience not to be missed

Ladies and gentlemen Itrsquos almost time to slick your hair and wear your buckle shoes You are about to be razzle dazzled out of your seat

The musical lsquoChicagorsquo is on its way Proudly presented by the Highlands Theatre Group this award winning show is both devilish and delightful

Under the skilful direction of Barbara Handley this exciting production

promises to deliver a satirical tale of merry murderesses and the desire for fame and fortune set beneath the bright lights of 1920rsquos Chicago

This story moves at gunshot pace and you will be singing along to one show stopping number after another When you consider that each member of this outstanding cast from the dancers to the musicians is highly experienced it comes as no surprise to discover that the Highlands Theatre Group is one of only three companies in NSW to be allowed the privilege of staging such a glittering and powerful show

Barbara Handley who once played Matron lsquoMamarsquo Morton herself gladly came out of her tentative retirement of two years when the opportunity arose to direct one of her all time favourite musicals

This will be theatre at its best and a musical experience not to be missed

Goulburn is a thriving rural and commercial centre and offers country style living and hospitality

The city is rich in heritage and natural beauty and any visitor interested in the history and development of this beautiful city will be delighted during guided and self guided tours of historic sites homesteads cathedrals cemeteries and points of interest

The first white explorers sited the land that was to become the first inland city from Mt Towrang in 1798 but it was not explored until some 20 years later Governor Macquarie declared it the Goulburn plains in 1820 Land seekers settled the area from 1818 onwards

Ladies and gentlemen Itrsquos almost time to slick your hair and wear your buckle shoes You are about to be razzle dazzled out of your seat

The musical lsquoChicagorsquo is on its way Proudly presented by the Highlands Theatre Group this award winning show is both devilish and delightful

Under the skilful direction of Barbara Handley this exciting production

promises to deliver a satirical tale of merry murderesses and the desire for fame and fortune set beneath the bright lights of 1920rsquos Chicago

This story moves at gunshot pace and you will be singing along to one show stopping number after another When you consider that each member of this outstanding cast from the dancers to the musicians is highly experienced it comes as no surprise to discover that the Highlands Theatre Group is one of only three companies in NSW to be allowed the privilege of staging such a glittering and powerful show

Barbara Handley who once played Matron lsquoMamarsquo Morton herself gladly came out of her tentative retirement of two years when the opportunity arose to direct one of her all time favourite musicals

This will be theatre at its best and a musical experience not to be missed

Ladies and gentlemen Itrsquos almost time to slick your hair and wear your buckle shoes You are about to be razzle dazzled out of your seat

The musical lsquoChicagorsquo is on its way Proudly presented by the Highlands Theatre Group this award winning show is both devilish and delightful

Under the skilful direction of Barbara Handley this exciting production

promises to deliver a satirical tale of merry murderesses and the desire for fame and fortune set beneath the bright lights of 1920rsquos Chicago

This story moves at gunshot pace and you will be singing along to one show stopping number after another When you consider that each member of this outstanding cast from the dancers to the musicians is highly experienced it comes as no surprise to discover that the Highlands Theatre Group is one of only three companies in NSW to be allowed the privilege of staging such a glittering and powerful show

Barbara Handley who once played Matron lsquoMamarsquo Morton herself gladly came out of her tentative retirement of two years when the opportunity arose to direct one of her all time favourite musicals

This will be theatre at its best and a musical experience not to be missed

Ladies and gentlemen Itrsquos almost time to slick your hair and wear your buckle shoes You are about to be razzle dazzled out of your seat

The musical lsquoChicagorsquo is on its way Proudly presented by the Highlands Theatre Group this award winning show is both devilish and delightful

Under the skilful direction of Barbara Handley this exciting production

promises to deliver a satirical tale of merry murderesses and the desire for fame and fortune set beneath the bright lights of 1920rsquos Chicago

This story moves at gunshot pace and you will be singing along to one show stopping number after another When you consider that each member of this outstanding cast from the dancers to the musicians is highly experienced it comes as no surprise to discover that the Highlands Theatre Group is one of only three companies in NSW to be allowed the privilege of staging such a glittering and powerful show

Barbara Handley who once played Matron lsquoMamarsquo Morton herself gladly came out of her tentative retirement of two years when the opportunity arose to direct one of her all time favourite musicals

This will be theatre at its best and a musical experience not to be missed

Ladies and gentlemen Itrsquos almost time to slick your hair and wear your buckle shoes You are about to be razzle dazzled out of your seat

The musical lsquoChicagorsquo is on its way Proudly presented by the Highlands Theatre Group this award winning show is both devilish and delightful

Under the skilful direction of Barbara Handley this exciting production

promises to deliver a satirical tale of merry murderesses and the desire for fame and fortune set beneath the bright lights of 1920rsquos Chicago

This story moves at gunshot pace and you will be singing along to one show stopping number after another When you consider that each member of this outstanding cast from the dancers to the musicians is highly experienced it comes as no surprise to discover that the Highlands Theatre Group is one of only three companies in NSW to be allowed the privilege of staging such a glittering and powerful show

Barbara Handley who once played Matron lsquoMamarsquo Morton herself gladly came out of her tentative retirement of two years when the opportunity arose to direct one of her all time favourite musicals

This will be theatre at its best and a musical experience not to be missed

Ladies and gentlemen Itrsquos almost time to slick your hair and wear your buckle shoes You are about to be razzle dazzled out of your seat

The musical lsquoChicagorsquo is on its way Proudly presented by the Highlands Theatre Group this award winning show is both devilish and delightful

Under the skilful direction of Barbara Handley this exciting production

promises to deliver a satirical tale of merry murderesses and the desire for fame and fortune set beneath the bright lights of 1920rsquos Chicago

This story moves at gunshot pace and you will be singing along to one show stopping number after another When you consider that each member of this outstanding cast from the dancers to the musicians is highly experienced it comes as no surprise to discover that the Highlands Theatre Group is one of only three companies in NSW to be allowed the privilege of staging such a glittering and powerful show

Barbara Handley who once played Matron lsquoMamarsquo Morton herself gladly came out of her tentative retirement of two years when the opportunity arose to direct one of her all time favourite musicals

This will be theatre at its best and a musical experience not to be missed

Ladies and gentlemen Itrsquos almost time to slick your hair and wear your buckle shoes You are about to be razzle dazzled out of your seat

The musical lsquoChicagorsquo is on its way Proudly presented by the Highlands Theatre Group this award winning show is both devilish and delightful

Under the skilful direction of Barbara Handley this exciting production

promises to deliver a satirical tale of merry murderesses and the desire for fame and fortune set beneath the bright lights of 1920rsquos Chicago

This story moves at gunshot pace and you will be singing along to one show stopping number after another When you consider that each member of this outstanding cast from the dancers to the musicians is highly experienced it comes as no surprise to discover that the Highlands Theatre Group is one of only three companies in NSW to be allowed the privilege of staging such a glittering and powerful show

Barbara Handley who once played Matron lsquoMamarsquo Morton herself gladly came out of her tentative retirement of two years when the opportunity arose to direct one of her all time favourite musicals

This will be theatre at its best and a musical experience not to be missed

Ladies and gentlemen Itrsquos almost time to slick your hair and wear your buckle shoes You are about to be razzle dazzled out of your seat

The musical lsquoChicagorsquo is on its way Proudly presented by the Highlands Theatre Group this award winning show is both devilish and delightful

Under the skilful direction of Barbara Handley this exciting production

promises to deliver a satirical tale of merry murderesses and the desire for fame and fortune set beneath the bright lights of 1920rsquos Chicago

This story moves at gunshot pace and you will be singing along to one show stopping number after another When you consider that each member of this outstanding cast from the dancers to the musicians is highly experienced it comes as no surprise to discover that the Highlands Theatre Group is one of only three companies in NSW to be allowed the privilege of staging such a glittering and powerful show

Barbara Handley who once played Matron lsquoMamarsquo Morton herself gladly came out of her tentative retirement of two years when the opportunity arose to direct one of her all time favourite musicals

This will be theatre at its best and a musical experience not to be missed

Ladies and gentlemen Itrsquos almost time to slick your hair and wear your buckle shoes You are about to be razzle dazzled out of your seat

The musical lsquoChicagorsquo is on its way Proudly presented by the Highlands Theatre Group this award winning show is both devilish and delightful

Under the skilful direction of Barbara Handley this exciting production

promises to deliver a satirical tale of merry murderesses and the desire for fame and fortune set beneath the bright lights of 1920rsquos Chicago

This story moves at gunshot pace and you will be singing along to one show stopping number after another When you consider that each member of this outstanding cast from the dancers to the musicians is highly experienced it comes as no surprise to discover that the Highlands Theatre Group is one of only three companies in NSW to be allowed the privilege of staging such a glittering and powerful show

Barbara Handley who once played Matron lsquoMamarsquo Morton herself gladly came out of her tentative retirement of two years when the opportunity arose to direct one of her all time favourite musicals

This will be theatre at its best and a musical experience not to be missed

Ladies and gentlemen Itrsquos almost time to slick your hair and wear your buckle shoes You are about to be razzle dazzled out of your seat

The musical lsquoChicagorsquo is on its way Proudly presented by the Highlands Theatre Group this award winning show is both devilish and delightful

Under the skilful direction of Barbara Handley this exciting production

promises to deliver a satirical tale of merry murderesses and the desire for fame and fortune set beneath the bright lights of 1920rsquos Chicago

This story moves at gunshot pace and you will be singing along to one show stopping number after another When you consider that each member of this outstanding cast from the dancers to the musicians is highly experienced it comes as no surprise to discover that the Highlands Theatre Group is one of only three companies in NSW to be allowed the privilege of staging such a glittering and powerful show

Barbara Handley who once played Matron lsquoMamarsquo Morton herself gladly came out of her tentative retirement of two years when the opportunity arose to direct one of her all time favourite musicals

This will be theatre at its best and a musical experience not to be missed

Ladies and gentlemen Itrsquos almost time to slick your hair and wear your buckle shoes You are about to be razzle dazzled out of your seat

The musical lsquoChicagorsquo is on its way Proudly presented by the Highlands Theatre Group this award winning show is both devilish and delightful

Under the skilful direction of Barbara Handley this exciting production

promises to deliver a satirical tale of merry murderesses and the desire for fame and fortune set beneath the bright lights of 1920rsquos Chicago

This story moves at gunshot pace and you will be singing along to one show stopping number after another When you consider that each member of this outstanding cast from the dancers to the musicians is highly experienced it comes as no surprise to discover that the Highlands Theatre Group is one of only three companies in NSW to be allowed the privilege of staging such a glittering and powerful show

Barbara Handley who once played Matron lsquoMamarsquo Morton herself gladly came out of her tentative retirement of two years when the opportunity arose to direct one of her all time favourite musicals

This will be theatre at its best and a musical experience not to be missed
