If you’ve been thinking lately that your normal weekend bevvies have been a bit too heavy on the R’n’B and not enough Do Re Mi, then we’ve got some exciting news for you. Nestled in the heart of New York's enchanting West Village is a basement piano bar so iconic, celebrities queue to get in. And for a limited time, New York's iconic piano bar, Marie's Crisis, and its top pianists are coming all the way to Melbourne to play especially for you.

There’s no set list, no stage, no microphone and no shooshing. Everyone’s welcome to sing their heart out, or just stand and enjoy the musical mavens who know all the lyrics. It’s riotous and rambunctious and welcomes all ages, all sexual orientations, all backgrounds and all singing levels. Sip a signature Fringe Common Rooms drink and enjoy the uplifting, magical feeling of being right there on Broadway.

This communal sing along night features songs from musicals ranging from popular classics, such as Les Mis, Wicked, My Fair Lady, The Sound of Music and Grease, to the cult showtunes from the musicals of Stephen Sondheim - and everything in between.

Due to overwhelming demand in 2024, Marie’s Crisis are adding three extra shows in 2025. Get your jazz hands on tickets quick though — Marie's Crisis Pop-Up sold out in 2023 & 2024 — and it will again.
