#All I want for Christmas is you…

The five star festive smash returns!

Christmas comes early as an all-star cast led by Australian cabaret icon Libby O’Donovan OAM unite to deliver all the hits from beloved holiday classic Love Actually, wrapped up with a sprig of holly and bucketloads of comedy and charm.

Relive the magic musical moments from your favourite festive film including songs by Mariah Carey, Joni Mitchell, Norah Jones, Eva Cassidy, Kelly Clarkson, The Beach Boys and The Beatles, brought to life by a rockstar band of Australia’s top musicians and vocalists including Joshua Robson (Phantom of the Opera), Alisha Todd (Sisters Are Doing It For Themselves), and Tim Carroll (Fancy Long Legs, Beautiful: The Carole King Musical).

Bursting with nativity lobsters (yes, more than one), cinnamon sticks and endless fun, Christmas Actually is the ultimate silly-season starter.
