The Jury Is Out – RBG: Of Many, One Is a Must-See Production in 2026

The gavel has dropped and the verdict is unanimous — RBG: Of Many, One is the must see production of 2026. From the stages of Arts Centre Melbourne, HOTA, Gold Coast,  Riverside Parramatta and the world-famous Sydney Opera House to Geelong’s own home of arts and entertainment, this powerhouse production continues its triumphant reign across Australia in 2026.

RBG: Of Many, One has blazed through the theatre world since its 2022 debut — captivating audiences, sweeping awards, and selling out venues nationwide during its 2024 tour.

Front and centre is the incomparable Heather Mitchell — the star of Spellbinder, Love Me, and The Great Gatsby — embodying the legendary Ruth Bader Ginsburg with wit, warmth, and unwavering fire. Her portrayal has already earned her a Sydney Theatre Award for Best Performer, and with over 187 performances and 100,000 captivated audience members under her belt, she’s ready to don the collar once more for a history-making encore.

RBG: Of Many, One invites you into the extraordinary world of the woman who forever reshaped the American legal landscape. Through sharp, conversational storytelling, audiences travel with Ruth from her curious, determined teenage years in New York — where she first questioned the gender gaps in her world — to her trailblazing 27-year tenure on the U.S. Supreme Court.

With grit, grace, and a legendary sense of justice, RBG became the first Jewish woman and only the second woman ever to sit on the Court. From standing tall through the Clinton, Obama, and Trump presidencies to her fearless fight for gender equality and reproductive rights, she proved time and again that one voice — when used boldly — can change the world.

Serving until her passing in 2020 at age 87, Ginsburg’s legacy glows through her groundbreaking rulings and passionate dissents in landmark cases like United States v. Virginia (1996), Olmstead v. L.C. (1999), and Friends of the Earth v. Laidlaw Environmental Services (2000). She was a force, a firebrand, and a feminist icon — and this production ensures her light continues to burn bright.

Written with razor-sharp brilliance by Suzie Miller — the Olivier Award-winning Australian playwright behind Prima Facie and Geelong Arts Centre exclusive Strong Is The New Pretty — RBG: Of Many, One captures the rhythm, intellect, and humanity of a woman who made history. Miller’s storytelling is both intimate and expansive, celebrating RBG’s defining victories, her fierce dissents, and the monumental cases that changed the course of justice.

Guiding this theatrical tour de force is visionary director Priscilla Jackman, whose work spans theatre, opera, and screen. Known for her boundary-pushing productions like The Cost of Living, White Pearl, and The Appleton Ladies Potato Race, Jackman brings a visual flair and emotional heartbeat that elevates RBG’s story to soaring new heights.

In a Victorian exclusive, RBG: Of Many, One takes the stage at Geelong Arts Centre for a five-show season from Wednesday 6 May to Saturday 9 May 2026. Don’t miss your chance to dive deeper into the production during a special post-show Q&A, Friday 8 May performance.

This isn’t just theatre — it’s a celebration of courage, conviction, and one extraordinary woman’s fight for equality. RBG: Of Many, One is a once-in-a-generation performance you’ll be talking about long after the curtain falls.
