Women Over 40 – The Cabaret
Invisible? I don't think so! A bold, hilarious and heartfelt celebration of women, life and laughter debuts at Byron Theatre October 2 and 3, 2026
WOMEN OVER 40 – The Cabaret presents its Northern Rivers premiere at Byron Theatre this October, bringing together five extraordinary women (and one very brave, handsome male) for an evening of sharp comedy, powerful storytelling and unforgettable music. Tickets for Women Over 40 – The Cabaret are on sale now.
Written by award-winning NZ playwright Lindsey Brown and directed by Olga Tamara, this contemporary cabaret explores the trials, triumphs and beautifully chaotic realities of being a woman ‘of a certain age’. Through comic monologues, soulful songs and brutally honest observations, the show celebrates resilience, friendship, humour and the freedom that comes with living life unapologetically. No matter what life throws at them, which is a lot, they remain FABULOUS!
Featuring acclaimed performers Cass Eager, Cathy Levins, Leanne Mauro, Joy Miller and Olga Tamara, with celebrated dancer Mark Hodge joining the cast in a cameo role, accompanied by Anna Honeychurch, Women Over 40 blends theatrical flair with warmth, wit and emotional truth.
“WOMEN OVER 40 -The Cabaret is an evening of celebration and connection. It doesn't hide the hardships of being middle-aged but instead reminds us that we are stronger than we think. Our life experiences give us wisdom, power and friendship...as well as the ability to laugh at ourselves - particularly, if it's to a catchy tune!”
