Australian production of The Lord of the Rings – A Musical Tale bound for Crown Theatre Perth in 2025

Tickets are sure to be precious as producers of The Lord of the Rings – A Musical Tale, the stage production based on J.R.R. Tolkien’s epic trilogy, have announced the 2025 Australian tour will include seasons in Sydney, Perth and Melbourne.

Crown Theatre Perth will transform into Middle-earth from March 19, where the Australian cast — with one ring to rule them all — will include Wicked alumni Jemma Rix as Galadriel, Stefanie Caccamo (Black Swan State Theatre Company’s Once) as Arwen and Rob Mallett as Strider, Mallet last seen on the Crown Theatre Perth stage as Elvis Presley in bio-musical Elvis: A Musical Revolution.

Rarmian Newton takes on the role of Frodo Baggins, with Laurence Boxhall as Gollum and Terence Crawford as Gandalf.

Producer Kevin Wallace said it was thrilling to have this stellar group of Australian theatre talent soon heading into rehearsals to create the Australian production of Paul Hart’s acclaimed theatrical production, which premiered in 2023 at The Watermill Theatre in the UK.

“We’ve assembled some of the best actors, musicians, and musical theatre talent from across Australia to bring this epic tale to life on stage,” producer Torben Brookman added.

“This company of extraordinary storytellers will share one of the most beloved stories of our generation live on stage, all-around Australia, for the very first time.”

The show’s dynamic score is performed live on stage by the company of multi-skilled actor-musicians, weaving together original music to tell the beloved story that has captured the imagination of readers for generations.

As the Hobbits celebrate Bilbo Baggins’ eleventy-first birthday in the Shire, he gifts his nephew Frodo his most precious belonging, a gold ring.

The fateful moment launches Frodo on a legendary and perilous quest across Middle-earth to the darkest realms of Mordor, to vanquish evil with his loyal Fellowship.

The Lord of the Rings – A Musical Tale opens in Sydney on January 7 before the Perth season from March 19. Join the ticket waitlist at lotronstage.com.
