The Hipster- A musical for people who don't like musicals

Theatre and Physical Theatre • Musical Theatre

South Australia • World Premiere

Wannabe Hipster Chester opens laneway bar The Brown Freckle off Hindley Street next to infamous strip joint Fuzzy Holes. It's a recipe for disaster. A new musical comedy including songs 'Retro Dick', 'Adelaide's Great' and 'The Centrelink Song'. From Adelaide, about Adelaide and for Adelaide. "It's Book of Mormon's off-beat cousin!" Fil Magazine.

The Hipster is a new musical written by Adelaide performer and composer Tamara Linke and directed by Catherine Campbell. The Hipster is a clear dig at the proclivities of Hipster culture in Adelaide, focusing on a deeper level on calling out race related stereotypes and perceptions. The music is pop and soul based; somewhat dirty, a little racy, but never a mason jar short of a bloody good laugh.

Presented by: Soundbowl Productions
