AMTF invites audiences into an intimate, unique conversation with one of Australia’s most beloved musical theatre icons, Nancye Hayes AM. Streaming live via Zoom from Melbourne — where she is currently appearing in Anastasia — Nancye joins the Festival as both celebrated artist and cherished patron for a warm, personal exploration of the songs that shaped her remarkable career.

Hosted inside Launceston’s newest boutique listening bar, the Dill Pickle Club, the event pairs Nancye’s stories with the original cast recordings, vinyl treasures and musical theatre gems that influenced her journey from young hopeful to national treasure. Audiences will hear anecdotes from her six decades on stage, reflections on the artists who inspired her, and behind-the-scenes memories from some of Australia’s most significant productions.

Equal parts conversation, celebration and communal listening experience, A Musical Theatre Mix-Up offers an unfiltered encounter with a legend of the stage — all set within one of Tasmania’s most atmospheric new cultural spaces. This is a rare opportunity to connect with Nancye Hayes in a format that honours both her extraordinary artistry and the music that made her who she is.
