A Chorus Line Season Postponed
Our upcoming season of A Chorus Line was scheduled to run from 25 August 2021. It won’t come as a surprise that, due to the current NSW Government lockdown and uncertainty around restrictions easing this year, we’re forced to postpone the season to 2022 for the safety and wellbeing of our cast, creative team and audiences.
We know a lot of you have been waiting since March 2020 to see this fantastic show, but you know what they say: third time’s a charm ✨ We can’t wait to finally bring this musical to audiences next year - we’ll be back faster than you can say “5, 6, 7, 8” 💃
INFORMATION FOR TICKET HOLDERS:
If you have a ticket to A Chorus Line we have emailed you with your ticket options. If you did not receive an email, please read on:
If you can, please donate your tickets to our Pot of Gold Restart Fund. 100% of donated funds will go directly to artist wages, so please consider donating either a partial amount or the full cost of your tickets if you have the means to do so. Patrons who donate the full cost of their tickets will get an exclusive invite to our 100% Party: a joy driven spectacular of roaming artists, music, gathering, glitter and cocktails celebrating 100% capacity and 100% good vibes with our Donors and 2022 season artists (when the time is right...).
With the help of patrons who donated to Darlo since March 2020 we were able to employ 210 artists & creatives and present 67 shows, for which we were named Best Theatre in City Hub's 'Best of Sydney 2021' - an amazing achievement made possible by our Donors.
If you’re one of our beloved patrons who is not in a financial position to donate, we are experts in pivoting and adapting so hold on to your seats. You don’t need to do anything, your tickets will automatically become a Darlo Credit Voucher to be used for the rescheduled A Chorus Line season or any other Darlo production. Or, if you’d prefer a refund we can organise that for you too.
NEXT STEPS: To donate either a partial amount or the full cost of your tickets to the Pot of Gold Restart Fund, or to request a refund, click the Your Ticket Preferences button and the end of this article and fill out the google form. If you want to request a refund please do so within 4 weeks of this announcement and allow up to 30 days. Or you can sit back, relax, and wait for us to contact you with the rescheduled A Chorus Line 2022 season dates and we will rebook your seats faster than you can say “5, 6, 7, 8”.
The Pot of Gold Restart Funds will be used to employ artists to build us a pathway forward. We’ll ask them what they want to say and how they want to say it. We’ll look around the room and see who’s not there and ask why. We’ll make sure all humans know they belong at Darlo. In 2020 we showed you what a silver lining looks like; in 2022 we don’t see any more storm clouds, just a vast beautiful blue sky - with rainbows. Lots of rainbows.
This is not our first COVID rodeo. Heck, it’s not even our second, but here’s the thing: artists are resilient and our team at Darlo have a vision. We want to take all the tenacity and chutzpah it took to reimagine our company in 2020 and add all the experience and dexterity we gained from that success.
And whilst we acknowledge it will be hard work, it will be good work. We’ll make a space you’ll be proud to see was able to weather this storm, and we’ll keep in touch with you so you’re the first to know about our plans when we fling open our doors. It’ll probably be Summer and there will definitely be music, sequins and cocktails.
