Jerry Hall Bringing The Graduate to Sydney

Jerry Hall bringing The Graduate to Sydney

Jerry Hall is reprising her role as seductress Mrs Robinson for the very last time in the Sydney season of The Graduate.

Having already wowed audiences in this iconic piece of American culture in the West End, on Broadway and in Perth and Melbourne, Hall will make her way to Sydney's Lyric Theatre for a strictly limited season starting December 2.

'I am so thrilled the stars have finally aligned and I am bringing the sultry Mrs Robinson to Sydney,' the Texan Hall said in a statement.

'As this will be the last time I play this role it makes the Sydney season very special to me.

Adapted from Charles Webb's novel and the Oscar winning film, The Graduate is both a poignant coming of age story and a dark comedy.

The play is set against a soundtrack of some of the most memorable songs of the sixties including Wouldn't It Be Nice by The Beach Boys, Everybody's Talkin' by Harry Nilsson and, of course, The Sound Of Silence and Mrs Robinson by Simon Garfunkel.

NSW Minister for Trade, Tourism and Major Events, Stuart Ayres, said the NSW Government was 'delighted' to have secured the farewell season of The Graduate through tourism and major events agency, Destination NSW, and anticipated the production would deliver more than $1.6 million to the NSW economy.
