High energy, high concept and high camp, MESSY FRIENDS is back with a fresh show celebrating the classic house party and all the comeuppances that go with it. The perfect show to round off the end of your night, our scene is well and truly set with the first number’s hard-hitting choreography and thumping rave music. The audience is taken on a journey through the scenes of a house party: there’s a song dedicated to each party drug, well-illustrated hook-ups that end messily, going all the way through to a groggy morning after. 

The space is used well with amazing lighting and simple, yet effective set design. The energy in the performance is incredible (especially for 10pm on a Wednesday night). They start with a bang and don’t lose a single audience member through the entire show. Each cast member clearly has their own style, aptly exhibited through enthralling choreography and lip-syncing, yet together they create a masterpiece that is equal parts magnetic, creative and sexy. Bring your friends, your mum, your boyfriend, your dog; everyone (well, everyone 18+) will love this show.
