The Smithergreens—Trajectory to greatness

Comedy • Music

South Australia

Johnnie and Janine Smithergreen (Stuart Day & Dianne Reid) are a middle-aged brother-sister singing act (not so) fresh from the sixties and seventies. They revisit a selection of groovy girl-boy duets that outdo the Osmonds, crush the Carpenters and reconcile Sonny and Cher. Delivered with their own unique mix of wholesome positivity and ageing hippy sarcasm, they will blow your idea of political correctness to Smithergreens!

What the audiences said in 2020:

"A great comeback by Janine and Johnnie, your parents would have been proud of the Hairyback song, the dance medley, the You Are My f***ing Sunshine, the costumes, the witty repartee, really the whole show and its touching homegrown messages" Ros

"Superb! Impressive, talented, hilarious" Katerina

"There's a lot of hair" Anon
