Antonio! is a queer, punk, pirate musical that reimagines the story of Shakespeare’s Antonios from across the cannon.

It went on to a highly successful run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival where it received ten four and five-star reviews. Featuring an all-queer cast and a raw, unapologetic sound, Antonio! brings new life to a classic tale in a way that’s fierce, fun, and utterly unforgettable.

Touring Australasia in 2025, Antonio! is “the cult classic that we all deserve (Broadway Baby)”

 

“This show is such a joy; it’s hilarious, it’s camp, it’s well acted, the script is clever, the music is great.” The Edinburgh Reporter
