Much Ado About Nothing, draws on pop music, rock imagery, pantomime and sitcom. The result is not so much a play-within-a-play, as a play within a rock concert. Packed full of 90s pop & rock music, this musical production is wonderfully romantic, hilariously funny and truly rocks along!
It is an energetic and well executed romp where the spirit of rock n roll is moulded into one of the bards most entertaining plays.Bold, cheeky, courageous and self-effacing; this battle of the sexes rom-com takes flight in a version unlike any you've seen before!
Enjoy the summer tradition of Shakespeare Under theStars and as the sun goes down, sit back, pop the cork and revel in this feel-good story where everyone lives happily ever after.

You can exchange your tickets up to 3 hours prior to the performance time.
If you are unsure of weather conditions, you can check the Bureau of Meteorology radar here.
Usually, performances proceed if there is light, misty drizzle. However, from time to time, it will be necessary to cancel a performance.
If a performance is to be cancelled, patrons will be notified via text message and email and will be able to exchange their tickets for another night, or receive a credit note for future ASC performances.
WEATHER CANCELLATION POLICY
When a performance is cancelled in advance of the scheduled start time due to adverse weather conditions, where possible and time permitting, we make every effort to inform ticket holders by SMS or phone.
If the Australian Shakespeare Company cancels a performance due to adverse weather conditions, your tickets can be exchanged for another performance during the same production season, or a credit note can be issued for future performances. The ASC does not offer refunds in the event of adverse weather conditions.

If it is not possible for you to attend another performance during the same production season we can provide a lifetime credit note for the value of your tickets (not including any handling fees).

Please note, in the case of one off performances (such as touring shows or music events), we often have other arrangements in place for cancellations such as the performance taking place on an alternate date. Please check the event page for further info.
The Australian Shakespeare Company has a flexible exchange/credit policy and liaises with third-party ticket sellers.
This means that although ticket allocation for a show may get exhausted, if customers change their performance date, or we consolidate our tickets with a third-party seller, more tickets can appear on sale when previously the show was fully booked.
Allocation exhausted means that there are currently no tickets available for this event.
It is possible for more tickets to be released however there are no guarantees that this will occur.
If you are looking for a single extra ticket, please contact our Box Office on 03 8676 7511.
