  • A WORLD PREMIERE

    Avis O’Hara (@theDIYDoll) is the most fabulous and famous trans influencer on the internet. Cutting-edge, left-tube vlogger Corrin Verbeck has had enough. Determined to expose Avis as a comphet, bio-essentialist, TERF-lite traitor, Corrin pretends to befriend her – but the plan backfires spectacularly… when Corrin falls in love.

    This hilarious and unexpected lovers-to-enemies-to-lovers odyssey is a hyperpop musical about what it means to be the “right kind of trans”.

    Following acclaimed concert presentations at Adelaide Cabaret Festival and the Hayes Festival of New Work, A Transgender Woman on the Internet, Crying arrives kicking and dancing as a full production. Don’t miss this fierce, funny and poignant exploration of identity, community and the transformative power of the trans community.

    Note: ticketing for Mainstage productions at the Old Fitz Theatre operate on a Dynamic Pricing model. This system means prices increase in line with audience demand (determined by capacity targets), and ensures we are able to provide cheaper tickets for a period whilst also making sure artists - who are often contracted on a profit share basis - get paid. In the interest of full transparency, the structure of the model can be viewed in full on our Welcome page. Concession tickets will never exceed $60.50, and previews and Cheap Tuesday’s will be capped at $38.50 and will not scale.
