Reach: The Musical
As part of the Niu Warrior Festival program
Six best friends have just graduated from year 12. Like most teenagers on the brink of adulthood they are struggling to find their way in the world under the guidance and direction of two quirky Youth Workers. While one friend wrestles with past inner demons, another is determined to break the entertainment industry at all costs. Just when they think they have it all figured out, one of them is inadvertently involved in a deadly street fight which will shock their very existence.
Can they set aside their differences and overcome obstacles that are beyond their control and pull off one of the greatest accomplishments the Sydney Pacific Island Community has ever seen?
Reach: The Musical, based on a true story, spins an intricate web of truth, love and loss. Delving into the blackest depths of grief and sorrow, the show delivers an honest glimpse into how Young People deal with some of the harsh realities of life.
With an all Pacific/Maori cast and crew, Reach will transport you on an emotional roller coaster ride that will leave you laughing, crying and grooving in your seat. Supported by an all Original Soundtrack and Choreography by some of Sydney’s hottest talent, this is Musical Theatre like you’ve never seen it before!
