Since its inception in 2012, The Little Red Company has established itself as one of Australia’s most celebrated independent full-service production houses. At the heart of The Little Red Company’s original work is the development of contemporary Australian cabaret, drawing together world-class artists from diverse backgrounds and creating commercially exciting productions of universal resonance.
The company has created three pop-culture cabarets: Rumour Has It (based on the life and music of international superstar Adele), Wrecking Ball (exploring the extraordinary reinvention of Miley Cyrus) and Lady Beatle (a kaleidoscopic journey through the music of the Beatles). The Little Red Company’s productions have been seen by over 60,000 audience members and have toured nationally and internationally to festivals and venues including Sydney Opera House, Hamer Hall, Queensland Theatre, Adelaide Cabaret Festival, Noosa Alive!, Melbourne Cabaret Festival and Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre. The company’s debut work Rumour Has It won a Matilda Award for Best Musical or Cabaret.
The Little Red Company has also created two concerts: From Johnny to Jack based on the life and music of John Farnham and Christmas Actually - the music of Love Actually live on stage. Their new work There’s Something About Music - the songs that made us fall in love - is due to debut in 2020.
As a response to nationwide venue closures and widespread unemployment in the creative industries, in 2020 The Little Red Company created The IsoLate Late Show - a music and variety show streamed live every Friday night. Across 10 episodes, the show was watched by over 300,000 unique viewers and raised more than $100,000 for the Actors and Entertainers Benevolent Fund.
