“The team behind the satirical “”Gladys”” videos during Covid present a new musical comedy about Gladys Berejiklian, “”the woman who saved Australia”” but couldn’t save herself.
A crack team of four multi-instrumentalists and actors takes you through the early life, from her flawless leadership through two disasters, until her biggest disaster: Dodgy Daryl from Wagga Wagga.
With music and lyrics by ABC Radio’s Nick Rheinberger, Tia Wilson stars as Gladys in several colourful blazers. It’s got big rock numbers, epic ballads, Armenian matchmaking, tap dancing and even more musical press conferences.
“Political satire at its finest. A rollicking ride through Covid and the ICAC inquiry.”
Kelly Burke, The Guardian”
“Marrying comedy and music…and a whole shooting range of nuance”
Brian Kelly, The Illawarra Flame
