The incomparable stars of screen and stage, Hayley Mills and Juliet Mills, daughters of the legendary actor Sir John Mills, are returning to Australia this year to star in the Australian premiere of James Kirkwood’s hilarious and touching comedy Legends!
Co-starring international heart throb Maxwell Caulfield (Grease 2, Dynasty, The Colbys), the play takes audiences into a world of gossip, rivalry, reminiscence, longing and scandal.
Hayley and Juliet previously appeared across Australia in the play Fallen Angels, and Hayley starred in John Frost’s Tony Award winning production of The King and I during the original Australian tour in 1991.
Hayley appeared in several Walt Disney films, most famously the dual roles of the twins Susan and Sharon in The Parent Trap (1961) and won the Academy Juvenile Award for Pollyanna (1960).
Juliet gained enormous popularity in the television sitcom Nanny and The Professor, and won Emmy Awards for her performances in the mini-series QB VII (1974) and her role in the daytime drama series Passions.
The shows producer John Frost said he is very excited to be bringing the sisters back to Australia.
“The moment I read James Kirkwood’s very funny and theatrical play I immediately thought of them, and luckily they all had a gap in their schedules to travel to Australia for this five month tour. And I’m thrilled that the wonderful Christopher Renshaw, who directed Hayley in The King and I and Hayley and Juliet in Fallen Angels so long ago, is available to direct Legends!.
Written by Pulitzer Prize winner James Kirkwood (A Chorus Line) and produced by John Frost, the Australian premiere of Legends! , opens in Brisbane at QPAC in May for a strictly limited season, followed by a national tour to Sydney, Perth, Adelaide and Melbourne.
