There is only one more week left to see the Australian premiere of Half Time, a new musical directed by Helen Dallimore and starring some of Australia s most treasured performers including Nancye Hayes AM, Stefanie Jones, Donna Lee, Wendy-Lee Purdy and more.
Half Time is the incredible true story of ten ordinary seniors with extraordinary dreams who audition to dance at halftime for a major basketball team. Only after making the cut do they learn they won t be dancing tap, salsa, or swing - instead, they will bring down the house with a style that is entirely new to them: hip-hop.

Hayes Theatre, April 7
Don’t you hate it when you can see exactly how you’re being emotionally manipulated, yet it still works? The plot turning-points arrive as punctually as Japanese trains, and yet rather than dispassionately watching them go by, you’re still sucked in for the ride.
Nancye Hayes and the cast of Half Time manage to triumph over the musical’s shortcomings.

I only have to tell you this show is based on a true story about nine retirement-age dance enthusiasts who audition to be the half-time entertainment for a professional basketball game, and the emotional box-ticking is obvious. Doubts and adversity inevitably beset them at every turn, with the biggest hurdle being they are required to perform hip-hop.
