An Earlier Staging
The show had a five-performance staging December 17 through 21, 2025, at Manhattan's 99-seat Theater 511 under the fuller title A Kidman Carol: A Gay Dementia On Australian Dames.
Blanchett Faces Her Kidman Ghosts
The premise riffs directly on A Christmas Carol, placing Blanchett on Oscar's Eve as she is confronted by three Kidmans who drag her through the Australian outback, present-day Hollywood, and an awards-season future, with the fate of her soul, cinema, and possibly the entire world hanging in the balance. Along the way it skewers major entries from both actresses' filmographies, including Tár, The Hours, Carol, The Lord of the Rings, The Undoing, To Die For, The Others, Notes on a Scandal, Blue Jasmine, and Big Little Lies, according to BroadwayWorld.
Kevin Zak wrote and directed the show. Zak previously wrote and directed Ginger Twinsies, a Parent Trap parody that played at the Orpheum Theatre, as reported by New York Theatre Guide.
