Synopsis
8 – 11 July 2026
Part comedy, part concert and part midlife awakening, Middle Raged is a fresh, fierce and funny celebration of what really happens when women hit midlife. It’s the ultimate girls’ night out.
Created from hundreds of real stories shared by women across Australia, and featuring a powerhouse all-female cast and live band, this electrifying night of song and storytelling shines a spotlight on the riotous chaos of aging, raging and changing.
Featuring songs by Missy Higgins, Gillian Cosgriff, Tim Minchin, Sia and P!nk, Middle Raged celebrates the power and potential of a glorious mid-life and beyond, inspiring women to honour their own voice with laughter, song and sisterhood.
Because when you’re over the hill… the view is incredible!
