Getting up close and personal with a bona fide living legend is a rare opportunity and not to be missed…Written by Hayes with (yet another legend) Tony Sheldon and rapidly becoming legendary director Jason Langley, Hayes @ the Hayes is as much the story of Australian showbiz as it is of the individual – because in many ways, Hayes is Australian showbiz. Recommended without reservation.

Diana Simmonds – Stage Noise

If any justification was needed as to why she has a theatre named after her, then this meticulously crafted, superbly performed, gem of a show provides it all. Directed with taste and elegance by Jason Langley, Hayes @ the Hayes is performed on a simple, elegant setting, sensitively lit by James Wallis, dominated by two large portraits of Hayes.

Bill Stephens – Arts Review

Directed with a light assurance by Jason Langley… Hayes is, as we’d expect, the consummate star: gracious, classy and sassy; a generous performer with plenty of pizzazz who knows how to deliver a song and land a joke. With Music Director Michael Tyack on piano and Dave Ellis on bass proving perfect accompanists, this is a show that anyone who cherishes musical theatre will adore. At times I felt the tears gather. Don’t miss this chance to share time with one of our true theatre legends.

Jo Litson – Limelight

Hayes has always had that special radiance that turns a performer into a star. Devised by Tony Sheldon and directed by Jason Langley, the show traced Hayes' life and career not with the hard lines of chronology, but with engaging intimacy and a light touch…this was Hayes still radiating star-power on the stage that rightly bears her name.
