Things to do for International Women's Day in Sydney

This is it, this is the big one! If you’ve been hungry for a fresh new blockbuster musical to land on the Sydney stage, we have great news for you. After a massive five-star debut in Melbourne, the West End and Broadway hit & Juliet is finally coming to Sydney. The production will be calling the Sydney Lyric Theatre home from February 27 thanks to Australian producer Michael Cassel.

This empowering feel-good show flips the script on the so-called greatest love story ever told, remixing Shakespeare’s ode to star-crossed lovers to imagine a world where Juliet Capulet’s story doesn’t end with sacrificing herself for her first love (that’s Romeo Montague, if you’re not following) – with a bunch of pop bangers and slick dance routines thrown in.

& Juliet will play the Sydney Lyric Theatre from February 27 to June 2, 2024. Tickets are on sale now over here.

Head to the courthouse of the Treehouse between 10am and 4pm on Friday March 8, and get a hair cut for a cause from the good people behind The Feel Good Project. The mobile hair salon from The Feel Good Project (run by the owners of popular Esstudio Galleria in Chippendale) will be donating one hair cut to a woman in need for every paid appointment on the day. 

Raise a glass to your new look with a special spritz from the Treehouse's IWD drinks menu, with a portion of proceeds from every sprtz sold between March 4 and March 9 going to Feel Good Project.

Book your appointment over here.

Every day is IWD at this intimate, women-led wine bar and bottle shop in Newtown. Settle in for some excellent snacks and wine from female winemakers from around the globe.
