CRICKET THE MUSICAL - 25/26

RISING FROM THE ASHES OF BAZBALL

After a triumphant tour earlier this year, Denis Carnahan is bringing his hilarious one man cult hit musical comedy show Cricket The Musical back to Adelaide on December 14 as part of his Rising From The Ashes Of Bazball national tour of 2025/26, following the visiting English cricket team around the country .

 The 2025/26 cricket season is destined to be filled with controversy and pantomime, from the World Test Championship to the West Indies series, followed by the always hilarious touring English Cricketers. They’re still smarting from the Farce of the Wandering Bairstow, and sure to bring the slapstick of Bazball. Add to that the drama of last season’s Indian shoulder charges and send offs, and the burlesque of the Big Bash, and you have more comic narratives than any music theatre librettist could ever dream of!
 
 Australia’s hardest working musical sports satirist uses his unique satirical spin to review it all, along with the game’s history of treachery, villainy, facial hair, and illegal abrasives. For almost two decades, Carnahan has been producing songs and parodies about the many colourful characters and controversies Australian sport produces. They go to air weekly on the ABC, and have previously featured on The Footy Show, Fox Sports, Triple M and many more. His songs about Stuart Broad’s sportsmanship, MCC selection policies, Mitchell Johnson’s moustache, and other sports have had millions of hits on YouTube.

Prepare yourself to boo the villains and cheer the heroes as Cricket The Musical brings the songs to life on stage, with videos, sketches and caricatures celebrating the many controversies of this summer’s matches.
