Region: Alexandra
Dates: Wed, 20 May 2026 - Sat, 23 May 2026

  • Alexandra Musical Society - Stars In Their Eyes 2026.

Our take on the classic television talent show. A tradition of Alexandra Musical Society for approx the last 25 years. See local wannabe's don costumes, makeup, and a whole lot of hair product in an attempt to recreate the performances of their idols. With artists of all genres, there is something for everyone.
