Starting at 8.30 pm from Cockle Bay in Darling Harbour, each show will feature a vibrant, fun and spring-themed performance – making it a cracking option for a night out with family, friends, or a date. Shows run every Saturday night throughout September – and they’re free to enjoy.

It’s (nearly) time to look up! Sorry in advance to those with a sore neck.

Time Out tip: Looking for somewhere to eat before the show? Malaysian eatery Mamak and Indonesian go-to Medan Ciak would be my picks. Or head to Darling Quarter for a bunch of options.
