The Ballad of Les Darcy

Music • Cabaret
International • World Premiere

Be the first to see what will surely become the next 'Greatest Showman' when 'The Ballad of Les Darcy' hits the cinema screens around 2024. His amazing life story will mesmerise you, and you’ll learn why he was considered one of the top 3 iconic Australians right up to the 1950's ( alongside Phar Lap and Donald Bradman ) The songs will have you standing on your feet at some points, and then crying at others. New & seasoned performers will entertain you, and tell you the story through songs, plus you will get to see actual footage of Les from 1915. If you've ever been to a BordererS concert, then you'll know that you're in for a great evening, and you'll be raving about it to all of your friends afterwards. Re-experience an bygone era of connectedness, selflessness & community spirit!
