Cast of Waltzing the Wilarra on stage

From the producers of the national tours of The Sapphires and The Sunshine Club, Waltzing the Wilara, the Australian musical play was written and composed by David Milroy.

Performers singing on RPAC stage

In 1940s Perth, under the shadow of curfews and the threat of arrest, three friends invite you into their secret club — where black and white communities gather, music fills the air, and love dares to cross boundaries.

Decades later, as their beloved club faces demolition, the friends return for one final night of protest and song. Long-buried secrets surface, and they are reminded that reconciliation is more than just words.
