Melbourne, welcome to Mackenzie's World 🎤💕
Opening Night was EVERYTHING! The vibes were immaculate and the guest list was stacked ⭐️
Multiple shows are already SOLD-OUT so literally book now divas or you might miss out 😱 by @mackenzie.play

Back by popular demand after sold-out 2026 seasons in Sydney and Melbourne, Yve Blake’s smash hit MACKENZIE returns to Australian stages.

Mackenzie is 13 and she’s booked her first-ever TV gig: a tiny part on a huge kids show. It’s a small start, but Mackenzie’s mum has always felt sure that her baby was destined for superstardom.

One day, Mackenzie and her best on-set friend Beau encounter a geriatric make-up artist who is struck with a vision: that Mackenzie will be NUMBER ONE POP GIRL OF THE WORLD.

Directed by the electric Virginia Gay, this hilariously macabre play (with songs) charts Mackenzie’s rise to fame fuelled by a cut-throat stage mum who will stop at absolutely nothing. Set in the heights of early 2000s TV stardom, prepare for a wild ride that will leave you in stitches... and deeply disturbed.

Over the weekend, MACKENZIE performed its final show to a SOLD OUT house!

A huge thank you to the incredibly talented cast, crew and creative team for bringing Yve Blake's hilarious script to life! Shakespeare and Y2K pop stardom were always meant to be.

Thank you to our audiences in Sydney and Melbourne for all the laughs, gasps and squeals. 🐷 We hope you join us for Shakespeare's OG, MACBETH, which is touring across Australia from September.

Diva, out! 💓
