Muriel’s Wedding The Musical arrives in London in 2023
Muriel Heslop is back! In this highly-anticipated London premiere, the iconic Australian film is set to become an equally iconic laugh-out-loud musical.
The film’s original writer-director PJ Hogan has updated his screenplay into a dazzling new stage show, bringing the story into the present but keeping all the irreverence and naughtiness of the film along with its dark edge.
Director Simon Phillips (Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead) leads a stellar creative team, with eye-popping sets and costumes from Gabriela Tylesova (Love Never Dies) and original music by award-winning singer-songwriters Kate Miller-Heidke and Keir Nuttall and of course the iconic ABBA songs.

Oh my goodness!!! I literally can not wait for this!! I am a massive Muriel’s Wedding and ABBA fan and this excites me sooooo much!! I’m hoping this happens this year 🤞
“You’re terrible Muriel” ❤️
Can. Not. Wait! Saw the show in Sydney back in 2017. As a Muriels Wedding and Abba fan and living in Sydney for 6 months at the time, it was (trying my best to not be melodramatic here) one of the best nights of my life! The songs are ridiculously catchy (I still find myself singing them now), it was full of laughs and stuck closely to the film with some modern references thrown in for fun.
I absolutely can’t wait. Sitting with baited breath for production announcements!
We saw this show in Melbourne too. It is absolutely the best show I’ve seen in a long time. Don’t miss it! Music – amazing. Staging- amazing. Conversion from film to stage- outstanding. SUCH a good show. Don’t miss it London!!
We have seen this show twice in Melbourne and it is F***ing amazing. It is a production full of class.
