A single performer stands confidently in front of a corrugated metal backdrop washed in orange and purple light. They gesture enthusiastically with one hand raised, delivering a monologue under a focused stage spotlight.

High school outcast and whimsical mega-dork Taylah longs to be the princess in her own fairy tale.

That's not easy in Dunburn – a drought-stricken Aussie town struggling for survival, where cool girls and footy hunks lead the pack. But when her hyper-woke, inner-city cousin Maeve comes to stay, the pair join forces on a quest to make their mark on the best night of the year: the town’s annual Debutante Ball. In their search for social redemption and the spotlight, chaos ensues – along with a whole lot of fake tan, lace, and diamante tiaras for ya up-do.

Conceived and co-directed by the hilarious Hannah Reilly (Winner of the 2019 Rebel Wilson Comedy Commission) with original music by multi-ARIA Award-winning Megan Washington, The Deb is a heart-warming and uproarious coming-of-age story about friendship, courage, and the beauty of coming out as yourself.

Don’t miss the debut of what will no doubt join Muriel’s Wedding and FANGIRLS in the ranks of beloved Australian stage musicals.

A group of young performers gather around a wooden platform on stage, animated and mid-scene. One performer stands on the lower steps of a staircase, laughing with a drink can in hand, while others reach toward him from below. The set is rustic, with corrugated metal walls and warm theatrical lighting.
A wedding scene unfolds on stage with performers arranged around a decorated floral arch. A performer in a white ballgown stands at the centre, while others in colourful costumes react to the moment. A man in casual clothes stands foreground, mid-speech, breaking the fourth wall. The lighting is soft and theatrical.
An ensemble of performers pose joyfully for a staged group photo during a celebratory wedding scene. Some are positioned on an upper platform while others kneel or stand below, dressed in gowns, suits, and vibrant costumes. A photographer faces the group in the foreground as purple lighting bathes the stage.
A performer in a white ballgown and long gloves stands in a spotlight on a theatre aisle, singing or speaking with outstretched hands. Another performer stands slightly behind her on the steps, watching quietly in the dimly lit auditorium.
Five performers in black-and-yellow rugby jerseys huddle tightly in a scrum formation on stage. One player crouches at the front holding a rugby ball, while the others lean in with determined expressions under warm theatrical lighting.
