Much like the famous Sun Records label itself, this Australian production has become the little music dream that rocks. From its debut at the Sandringham Hotel in Newtown, Sydney to four years of sold out shows and standing ovations at the Sydney Opera House, Sons of Sun is now in an exciting new phase in 2025.Told through the character of Sun Records founder Sam Phillips, his assistant Marion Keisker, and the famous musicians that Sam recorded, the show features a three-piece live band fronted by Canberra musician, CC Hall (The Sun Bears), performing excerpts of thirty-five songs from Elvis, Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, Roy Orbison and many more. The tenacious Sam Phillips is played by prolific Sydney actor, Matt Charleston with co-stars Elena Smaniotto and Ben Maclaine taking on multiple roles from Sam’s assistant Marion Keisker to Jerry Lee Lewis.John Kennedy of Love Gone Wrong fame began developing the Sons of Sun concept in 2011 with the release of his Sons of Sun Vol.1 CD. Award winning Melbourne playwright Kieran Carroll (NEWK – The John Newcombe Story) has written an accompanying script to CC Hall’s beautiful renditions. Director Louise Fischer seamlessly blends the narratives and songs to produce a compelling, original and heartbreaking blend of rock and roll theatre. CC Hall sings the songs of the iconic Sun Records artists with Murray Cook (guitar) and Phil Hall (bass) completing the Sons of Sun stage band. Neil Gooding was the originating director of the show.http://sonsofsun.com.au/ https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/81ebfff0-2b88-11f1-a536-6780090db813-rimg-w525-h740-dc2f2b31-gmir.jpg RUNNING TIMEThis performance runs for 2 hours with a 20 minute interval https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/822670e0-2b88-11f1-936c-f556384f78f6-rimg-w1114-h740-dc927a79-gmir.jpg TICKETSGeneral Admission $50.00 + Eventbrite b/feeLake Mac Arts Member $45.00 + Eventbrite b/feeMembership cards need to be presented at event entry.
