For the first time
in Melbourne, Aleksander Vass & Malcolm C. Cooke
present the hilarious, brand new production,
Sexercise – The Musical. This enormously
entertaining comedy about relationships makes
its world premiere at Melbourne’s newest live
performance venue, Alex Theatre, St Kilda from
Feb the 24th.
Joe & Sam (married,
but not connecting), Tania (heartbroken), Andy
(married the wrong girl) , Rhonda (looking for
Mr Right online) and Shane (36 still dating 23
year olds) all have their issues - busy lives
love, lust, relationships, and Sexercise could
be the answer.
Fresh, Fun and Fabulously Flirty. The story is
placed in the fast-paced world of married,
professional, mid-30s couple Joe (Lyall Brooks)
and Sam (Nicole Melloy). There’s no place for
seduction amid the juggling of school runs, work
schedules and their personal exercise regimes.
Like so many things that are stretched to a
breaking point, Joe and Sam are failing to
deliver to each other what they used to give
away so freely – time, affection, spontaneity
and, of course, sex.
Well-meaning friends Tania (Lulu McClatchy),
Shane (Kristin Holland) and Andy (Cameron
MacDonald) try to help Joe and Sam work through
their problems. But, their friends have problems
of their own. When Shane was 16 he picked up 23
years olds. At 36 he’s still doing it... just.
Tania believes in “the one”; trouble is, she met
her and then, got dumped. At least she still has
her cats! Poor Andy married “the one”; just the
wrong one.
And there’s Rhonda (Fem Belling) running the
gamut of online dating sites, trying everything
on the menu and struggling to decide what to
order on a regular basis.
Written and
produced in Melbourne, Sexercise – The Musical
is the first performance to be staged in the new
Alex Theatre, one of three theatres to be built
in the former George Cinema complex in Fitzroy
St, St Kilda
It is fitting Sexercise – The Musical is to be
the new Alex Theatre’s first show: Aleksander
Vass wrote a popular cartoon book on the subject
several years ago. Producer Malcolm Cooke was
inspired by the title, and he commissioned
writer and composer Derek Rowe to create a new
musical creating a story and characters based on
the subject.
