Fresh from rapturously received seasons in Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and a Perth run where it played to the largest audiences of FringeWorld 2026 – MARVELous The Show soars into Brisbane for a strictly limited season from 18–29 March at Twelfth Night Theatre.
With a rock-infused soundtrack and a cast of exceptional acrobats, vocalists, dancers and high-flying aerialists, MARVELous The Show is a dynamic blend of parody, hilarity and impressive live performances, all delivered with a satiric and risqué edge.
MARVELous would leave Chris Evans in a laughing fit, have Chris Hemsworth’s sides splitting, and make Robert Downey Jr.’s heart sing.’ Lilithia Reviews
MARVELOUS is a must-see for anyone who loves their superheroes with a side of sass.’ The Plus Ones ‘MARVELous The Show is an irreverent, R-rated, musical parody of the Marvel Cinematic Universe that had fans squealing with delight.’ The Blurb
A cleverly created Marvel parody lands with spectacular delivery…the stunt work, athleticism, flying high wire stunts, and pole dancing are simply amazing.’ Stage Whispers
The production showcases well known and loved superheroes including Thor, Black Widow, Deadpool, Scarlet Witch, Spider-Man, Iron Man and more as they’ve never been seen before, in outrageous and unexpected subversions of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
MARVELous The Show is also packed with pop culture easter eggs and is heavily woven with references to beloved films like Dirty Dancing, Magic Mike, Flashdance and The Greatest Showman, providing a little something for everyone.
It’s packed with raunchy performances, whip-smart humour, hyper-specific references and gravity defying stunts that will leave you breathless.” ★★★★½ Adelaide Advertiser
Award-winning designer Dan Potra (Sweeney Todd at Southbank London, La Boheme on the Harbour for Opera Australia, The Barber Of Seville for Houston Grand Opera) has created a unique stage design to complement the many wild skills on display, with lighting design by James Wallis (Hayes Theatre’s recent productions of City of Angels and Bonnie & Clyde) and choreography by Emma Wong.
MARVELous creator and director, Samwise Holmes:
MARVELous is a production we’ve been building for five years. Every season we’ve pushed the show further – musically, visually and physically. It’s incredibly satisfying to see how far MARVELous has evolved, and we’re excited to bring the latest edition of the show to Brisbane.
