Davine Productions

Contemporary Musical Theatre In Adelaide

Original, thought provoking musical theatre, right here in Adelaide.

Davine Productions stages contemporary musical theatre that goes beyond the big-budget blockbusters. We find the stories that stay with you, and bring them to life with a cast and crew who do it purely for the love of it.

Music theatre that reflects the human experience

Since 2013, Davine Productions has been quietly doing something different in Adelaide’s theatre scene. Not the shows everyone else stages, the ones with heart, edge, and a score you didn’t know you needed. From a scar-faced young woman in 1964 America to a composer reckoning with his own mortality, we seek out musicals that say something real. We’re a not-for-profit, non-professional company. That means every performer, every crew member, every front of house volunteer is here because they love it. Audiences feel that, it shows in the work.

“…a piece of theatre that works on a number of levels all in a crazy and wonderful sort of way. … the cast as a whole is simply superb. The orchestration provides technically fine musicianship which is subtly delivered throughout……ANOTHER GAUCI TRIUMPH!”!

“ … spellbindingly played by a perfectly cast ensemble in voice and performance … a delightful concoction of reflection and narrative,… inspired, comedic staging. Were it not for the stellar voices, one could happily pay just to listen to the music.”

“… the cast as a whole is simply superb. The orchestration provides technically fine musicianship which is subtly delivered throughout. For me and for my appreciative fellow audience ‘A New Brain” was another Gauci triumph!”

“This is a show filled with heart, witty lines, and the ability to draw the audience into its silly world. …the whole thing is great. A story that will engage, some silliness, great songs and wonderful characters.Opening night was full, it’s a short season so book soon or you may miss out.”
