Following the huge success of their 2017 debut Australian tour, Puttin’ On the Ritz returns and will glide its way across Australia in May and June for an all-singing, all-dancing celebration of some of the most iconic music of all time.

Presented by Mellen Events, Puttin’ On the Ritz promises to deliver all the razzamatazz and style, celebrating the most famous songs which hark back to the glory days of Hollywood. This extravaganza features a 16-strong stellar cast of six multi-talented vocalists and 10 energetic dancers direct from London’s West End.

The soundtrack includes timeless classics by George Gershwin, Irving Berlin and Cole Porter including Cheek to Cheek, Alexander’s Rag Time Band, Birth of the Blues, Swanee, Night and Day, I Got Rhythm, Easter Parade and of course Puttin’ On the Ritz.

Producers describe the show as being full of glittering costumes and slick staging, paired with the most famous songs, a perfect match for a glamorous night out and a show you’ll never forget.

Producer David King said they were excited about bringing the show back for another tour.

“Puttin’ On the Ritz toured Australia in 2017 and it was a smash hit,” King said. “Audiences loved it and we’re thrilled to be able to give people another chance to enjoy a wonderful piece of musical history.”
