As I'm unable to see and review this show, I am posting a preview from the Media Release as it sounds interesting. Some of you may know Chelsea Plumley's work in musical theatre.
It runs at Chapel off Chapel from 17-28 May 2023. KH
From Media Release:
"Beautiful Highness is a new Australian Black Comedy written by five-time Green Room
nominated, award-winning musical theatre actress and musician, Chelsea Plumley."

"Inspired by Plumley’s family, the play celebrates the incredible grit and determination it takes to live with a mental health diagnosis and crystallises just how important a sense of belonging is for those people who often only experience stigma and discrimination. Beautiful Highness is an inter-generational, heartwarming story that is unsentimental and at times, laugh-out-loud funny.
"Synopsis:
Shelley - a spunky, wise-cracking battler - lives with a soundscape of non-stop Voices plaguing her every waking minute. The only relief comes from weekly visits to see her kids - who live with their Nana - daily phone calls to her siblings, and really, really loud music."
