SUNDAY 6 NOVEMBER 6.30 PM – Arc
Come and party as the festival closes with a hilarious, over-the-top, and deliberately cheesy musical about ice hockey, team sports and romance.
In true Glee style, this will get your toes tapping and your skates rattling! Australia’s own Olivia Newton-John stars as a hippy mum who has home schooled her son Farley – who happens to be a sensation with the puck. When he’s spotted by an ice-hockey talent scout, he has to deal with playing team sports for the first time, and being dragged away from girl next door Eve. And how will pacifist Farley deal with the fighting that is all part of the game in the big league?
