FROM ballet to sing-along films, here are our best picks of what’s on in the week ahead.
TODAY
CINDERELLA
Theatre Royal, today at 7.30pm, tomorrow at 2.30pm
This full-length classical ballet production of the traditional, much-loved fairytale features internationally-recognised artists in a stunning display presented by the Victorian State Ballet. An inspiring, entertaining and memorable experience for the whole family. Tickets from $70 adult, $65 concession, $50 child. theatreroyal.com.au/shows/cinderella-0
TASMANIAN MADE MARKET

More than 130 local stallholders will present handmade wares — including jewellery, leather goods, woodcrafts, paintings, soaps, clothing, candles and tasty treats — at this two-day expo. There will also be live music, children’s activities, craft demonstrations and prizes. Entry is free. derwent.com.au
TUESDAY, THURSDAY, FRIDAY
SING CINEMA
State Cinema, North Hobart, Tuesday to Saturday
Have you ever wanted to sing out loud to your favourite movie at the cinema without fear of offending fellow moviegoers? Well, now you can. Festival of Voices and State Cinema present four hit films — Grease, Bohemian Rhapsody, The Rocky Horror Picture Show and The Greatest Showman — in sing-along format. Each movie will feature a surprise musical support act (to get you warmed up). Tickets are $25 adults, $19 children. Or see all four movies for $80. While in North Hobart you can also explore the NoHo Sessions program across the road at the Uniting Church. Program details at statecinema.com.au or festivalofvoices.com
WEDNESDAY
ETHEL CHOP
Jokers Comedy Club, 8pm
Things could get a bit cranky when Australia’s favourite octogenarian returns to Jokers Comedy Club. The alter ego of award-winning actor, author, director and comedian Andrea Powell — Ethel Chop — has been getting annoyed and disappointed by young people, and life in general, for years, as a regular guest on Triple J, Austereo radio and ABC TV. Tickets are $23 pre-sale (plus booking fee) or $25 at the door. 20 New Town Rd, New Town. jokerscomedy.com.au
THURSDAY
PUB CHOIR
Hobart City Hall, 6.30pm
Pack yourself into City Hall with up to 1100 strangers, learn a song in three-part harmony in 90 minutes, and then have your performance immortalised on video forever. No auditions, no solos, no commitments, no sheet music, no worries. Pub Choir is equal parts comedy, beer, and musical genius. 18+ event. Tickets are $30. Doors open at 6pm, event starts at 6.30pm. The event is part of the Festival of Voices, which runs until July 14. festivalofvoices.com

Peking Duk announce surprise Hobart show
It is a bit of a risk announcing a show only a few weeks out, but that does not matter when you are Peking Duk. Where and when the electronic duo are playing.
