Hot on the heels of sell out performances at the 2021 Melbourne Fringe Festival and 2022 Midsumma
Festival, “SEAMAN! THE SEA SHANTY SPECTACULAR” is back by popular demand! This multi-award-
winning show debuted digitally at the 2021 Melbourne Fringe Festival before the streamin’ seaman took it
live to Midsumma. Now the gangs all back together with another performance featuring ten of
Melbourne’s finest indie choir performers!
The show which has performed to sell out shows at The Curtin Hotel and was also a featured act at the
2022 Gaytimes Festival puts a modern spin on the humble sea shanty. Inspired by the #1 viral TikTok trend
of 2021 the group came together during the 2021 lockdowns and didn’t perform in person until the start of
this year! The ensemble puts a modern spin on this traditional sea song with performances of well-known
tunes including “Wellerman” (which reached #1 in 11 countries) and the “Drunken Sailor”. The choir will
also present a diverse range of traditional seafaring songs from Europe, North America, New Zealand, and
Australia.
Maestro Alex Morris will once again lead the “SEAMAN! THE SEA SHANTY SPECTACULAR”. Morris, a leader
in the choral and queer communities is known for his work as Music Director of the award-winning Vocal
Evolution, cult choir sensation Shania Choir, Geelong Harmony Chorus, and shOUT Youth Chorus (MGLC).
Musical direction and arrangement feature original remixes from Will Hannagan (WILLING).
The chorus represents all corners of society and is culturally diverse with First Nations and LGBTIQA+
representation. The show also includes a tribute number to First Nation seafarers sung in Yanyuwa
language with the blessing of Yanyuwa elders.
