Award-winning comedian (and celebrated international DJ) Andrew McClelland foolishly spent 2020 writing a full-length, full-cast modern comic operetta based on the musical clichés and ridiculous plots of Gilbert & Sullivan (but with the pesky sexism and colonialism removed, pro LGBTQIA+ themes inserted, and all the style, ridiculous fun, comedy, and catchy songs retained). 

At three hours and a cost of millions, that show will never be produced, but that isn’t stopping Andrew !

 

Joined by his over-talented, ever-eager accompanist and accomplice Martine Wengrow, Andrew is determined to bring his musical vision to life! (Within the bounds of a Fringe show setting.)

 

This loving spin on G&S tells the tale of a lovelorn corporate law-firm IT department seeking unlikely glory in their inter-firm, intra-gender footy comp. It appeals to both the passionate G&S fan and those with no idea what a G&S is! 

 

Comedic, musical, lyrically witty, and splendidly costumed and choreographed, this energetic and enthusiastic duo will have you grinning ear to ear (and probably singing along) from the Overture to the Encore!

 

After wildly successful seasons at Adelaide Fringe and Melbourne International Comedy Festival in 2022, Andrew McClelland: The Very Model Of A Modern Major Musical  will return to stun audiences on an Australia-wide tour in 2022.
