Event Details

DOORS 6:00PM // KITCHEN OPENS 6:00PM // SHOW STARTS 7:30PM

Dinner, drinks, and deliciously over-the-top storytelling.

Burned Dinner Theatre serves up a dose of magnificent melodrama with Soap Opera Tonight – a theatrical lovechild born from the likes of The Bold and the Beautiful and Thank God You’re Here. Each episode follows glamorous mother-daughter duo Cynthia Darhling (Tegan Crowley) and Sapphire Darhling (Tamzen Hayes) as they navigate love, loss, and the chaos of their crumbling fashion empire. With a rotating cast of characters and a special guest star each episode, anything can happen (and absolutely will). Expect big hair, bigger emotions and cocktails dramatic enough to throw in someone’s face.

Soap Opera Tonight premieres at Melbourne International Comedy Festival, and will become your new monthly obsession, continuing throughout 2026 at Brunswick Ballroom.

CAST INCLUDES Sara Bolch, Courtney Crisfield, Tegan Crowley, Lily Fish, Tamzen Hayes, Candice Leask, Annabel Marshall-Roth, Alexandra Schepisi, Nick Simpson Deeks

WRITTEN BY Tegan Crowley & Tamzen Hayes

PRODUCER Annie Bourke

STAGE MANAGER Millie Shanks

Episode 2: “Goodbye Daddy”
