Live on stage in a dazzling new Australian production. Written by Robert Harling, the timeless tale of STEEL MAGNOLIAS will come alive under the direction of Lee Lewis and a cast of six powerhouse actors.

STEEL MAGNOLIAS will tour to QPAC, Brisbane from April 2026, Theatre Royal Sydney in May 2026, Wollongong and Canberra in June 2026, His Majesty’s Theatre, Perth in July 2026 and Melbourne’s Athenaeum Theatre from July 2026.

Step inside Truvy’s beauty salon, the heart of a small Southern town, where local women share their joys, struggles and a little neighbourly gossip. From weddings and babies to divorces and funerals, they face life’s highs and lows with humour, courage and impeccably styled hair. When tragedy strikes, it’s in these familiar walls that they find comfort, support and the unbreakable bonds of friendship that carry them through.

    Why Australians Number the Boxes:
    Australia combines Westminster government with preferential voting, unlike countries using first-past-the-post. Governments are formed by parties commanding lower-house majorities, while voters rank candidates and preferences transfer until someone achieves majority support.

    Behind the Screen:
    Pornography can affect young people’s understanding of intimacy, consent, relationships and gender expectations, particularly after early or unwanted exposure. Because it often presents unrealistic and aggressive portrayals without communication or mutual consent, it may encourage pressure and distorted expectations. Education, open discussion and stronger safeguards can promote respectful, safe and healthy relationships.
