See Doctor Zhivago at Sydney's Lyric Theatre on Wednesday 16 or Thurs 17 March for $65 (50% off)
In this explosive new musical romance based on Boris Pasternak's 20th Century Russian masterpiece, Doctor Yurii Zhivago is a man divided against himself: on the one hand a dedicated husband, father and healer; on the other a poet, dreamer and sensualist.
Reflecting his struggle the musical swirls around him in a panoramic portrait of a nation in upheaval, and tells a story at once epic and personal, funny and heartbreaking, impetuously romantic and bitingly political.
The action sweeps breathlessly from the final glory days of Czarist Russia through the chaos and upheaval of the Russian Revolution into an unprecedented tyranny under a heartless new political regime.
Through all these volcanic upheavals, three passionate men the ardent young Doctor Zhivago, the fiery political radical Pasha Antipov, and the cunning bourgeois magistrate Viktor Komarovsky compete for the love of one woman, the alluring and enigmatic Lara… as if they are fighting for the soul of Russia itself.
With its lush, unforgettable melodies, suspenseful story, and the internationally renowned Anthony Warlow.
Terrible show! I took my mother who loves Dr Zhivago and also loves theatre. This was the worst she's ever encountered! Dissapointing! It seems like now they can't sell them that's why they are offering this deal. Avoid like the plague, buy a case of beer instead!
