“Remember eyes up here, not on the skort.”

Set inside the elite North’s Netball Institute, Nails follows rising star Bec, whose carefully curated, picture-perfect life is thrown into chaos when a group of queer, take-no-prisoners recruits crash the court. As rivalries ignite, alliances fracture, and sparks fly, Bec must confront some uncomfortable truths. Can she take the heat? Will she be able to respect the ‘no contact’ rule when a new player catches her eye? Netball ain’t for the weak of ankle, let alone for the weak of heart…

Experience the world premiere full-length concert production of this hilarious, heartfelt and high-octane bold Australian musical by Sophie Davis, Laura McDonald and Harry Collins.

After a series of sold-out development presentations, including performances for Sydney WorldPride, Hayes Theatre’s Festival of New Works, and Home Grown at Chapel Off Chapel & Qtopia and major development support from Creative Australia, Create NSW and the Major Festivals Initiative, Nails arrives fully realised just in time for Pride month.

With a contemporary music theatre score, influenced by early 2000s pop-rock and 80s throwbacks, Nails delivers big vocals, bigger feelings, and a soundtrack you’ll want to blast on the way home.

This concert presentation is exclusively at the Eternity Playhouse for four performances only: don’t miss your chance to catch this electric new work.

Whether you’re a musical lover, a sports fanatic, or anyone wonderfully and wildly in-between, you’re invited to take centre court – so grab a gatorade and get ready to sweat.

Because there’s no one way to be an athlete.
No one way to be queer.
And no one way to be a woman.

Yeah The Girls.

Nails The Musical In Concert is part of Qtopia Sydney’s Pride Fest and is supported by the NSW Government through Create NSW.
