The beloved First Nations musical, The Sapphires is back by popular demand and ready to deploy on another tour of duty, hitting the stage at Gladstone Entertainment Convention Centre (GECC) on Tuesday 6 September.  

Written and directed by Tony Briggs, The Sapphires is a funny, heart-warming tale inspired by the true story of four Yorta Yorta women, who sing classic soul hits against the backdrop of personal change and massive social upheaval.  

Wearing sequins and armed only with microphones, these four young women find themselves trying to spread joy in the hell that is the Vietnam War.  

Gladstone Region Councillor Natalia Muszkat said tickets are on sale with discounts available for GECC Loyalty Members, pensioners and for group bookings of four or more.  

“The story of The Sapphires in its original form has plenty of fun moments that audiences of all ages can enjoy,” Councillor Muszkat said.  

“The production features a talented young ensemble of First Nations performers in all the Indigenous Australian roles as well as multicultural performers.  

“Visit the GECC website, GECC Box Office or give the team a call on 4972 2822 to purchase your tickets.”
