The iconic Broadway production of “The Graduate” is set to take Perth by storm when it shows at His Majesty’s Theatre later this year.

Hawaiian is proud to collaborate with long-standing sponsor partner His Majesty’s Theatre Foundation to bring this exciting production to Perth audiences.

The Graduate will star former Texan supermodel Jerry Hall as Mrs Robinson with American actor Rider Strong cast opposite her as graduate Benjamin Braddock.  Producers aim to ensure that the rest of the cast, including backstage personnel, consist mainly of Western Australian talent.

Hawaiian Chief Executive Officer Russell Gibbs said Perth would be the only location in Australasia to show The Graduate.

“A production of this caliber is the perfect opportunity to showcase our fine city,” Mr Gibbs said.

“At Hawaiian we work closely with the WA creative arts sector and we are proud of our partnership with His Majesty’s Theatre Foundation, and particularly with the opportunity to collaborate with them in bringing this project to Perth,” he said.

21 performances of The Graduate will show at His Majesty’s Theatre, with opening night on Saturday 28 August.  Tickets are available from BOCS.
