Roller Coaster

Head to Marrara Indoor Stadium for a high-energy, action-packed spectacle featuring original live music and Darwin’s local roller-skating legends.

Fierce, tender and explosive, this exhilarating production explores the ups and downs of life on wheels through humour, heart and an electrifying live soundtrack.

Inspired by true stories, Roller Coaster follows the journey of three skating heroes. Sam, once a star Jammer with the local roller derby team, is now the overstretched manager of a run-down suburban roller rink, juggling two ratbag kids, a useless ex and no room for dreams. Rocky (the useless ex and star of a show-stopping keytar solo on skates) is living out his best life following a twist of fate and Tully is a teen street skater yearning to belong. When their paths collide, they must take a leap of faith, sending them smashing into the very best versions of themselves.

Roller Coaster celebrates hope and how the rough and tumble ride of life on wheels can save you – just when you need it the most. It’s a deeply personal, thrilling and heart-warming ride to finding your tribe. From roller derby players (think rugby league on wheels) to rink dancers, skate bowl rebels, families and everyday wheel-lovers, this high-octane show will have you on the edge of your seat.
