Jungle Juice - Wondai

SOLD OUT! The South Burnett Musical Comedy Society will be presenting the first performance of their new theatre-restaurant show "Jungle Juice" at the Wondai RSL in Mackenzie Street, Wondai at 7:00pm tonight. Jungle Juice tells the story of a plane carrying two rock stars and a reporter that crashes on an island which has a severe man shortage. The result is a zany tropical cocktail of melodrama and music, somewhere between Brigadoon and The Gods Must be Crazy. Tickets to the show - which include a two course dinner - are $40 and need to be booked online. Note: Three further performances will be held at Tara's Hall in Nanango (tomorrow night) and the Kingaroy Senior Citizens Centre (next Friday and Saturday night).
