The show, which lands on our shores in October, has played to sold-out audiences and received standing ovations. It will mark the first time Rosie has ever performed down under. She’ll reflect on her life in the present, including her longing to visit and perform here. . . Plus, why she moved to Ireland from the USA, and how that shift has shaped her future.

“I've always dreamed of playing at the best venues in the world. The Sydney Opera House is number one on my list,” Rosie says. “How amazing for me to get on that stage?! Such hallowed ground, and to perform for the wonderful people Down Under, just incredible. Thank you Australia.”

Australian audiences can look forward to a night of laughter and reflection, as Rosie blends heart, humour and honesty through her stories.

It’s a one-time-only opportunity to witness Rosie’s trademark spontaneity and sharp observational style.

Tickets are on sale 14 August.

Rosie O’Donnell plays Sydney Opera House 9 October (2pm and 8pm).
