The popular theatrical performance took a hiatus during 2020 due to COVID-19, but is back better than ever, with preparations underway for their next round of performances coming up in October.
Spirits haven't been dampened by the temporary shutdown - with tickets selling fast for the five-day run.

A new venue will be hosting the intimate performances - moving from its previous home at the Country Club Casino, to the function centre upstairs at the Sports Garden Hotel.
It's all excitement ahead for the cast and Minx owner Shelley Spencer.
"We're doing it a bit differently this year," Ms Spencer said.
"Everyone in the entertainment industry was affected by COVID-19 last year, so it's awesome the way that we've been able to get back to normal in Tasmania compared to other states, and we're able to come and do live theatre again.
"It's a more intimate performance, we're doing five shows in October from the 20th to the 24th, and it's canapes and cocktails - a classy night out."
The concept of cabaret brings a particular image to mind - but Ms Spencer said there will be something in the show for everyone.
"It's comedy - Dan Taylor is our host and he's a crowd favourite," she said.
"Definitely comedy - singing, dancing and all types of genres - yes we are a cabaret show but there's live acoustic performers as well as show tunes, it's a real eclectic mix, something for all tastes and a great fun-filled night out."
It's the seventh year for the cabaret performances, with demand increasing.
A host of local performers are set to take the stage, including Trudy Barnes, Amy Stringer, Jayne Shepherd Porschea George, Lisa Tedeschi, and more.
"That gives a really great mix, because you've got the ones that do the big show numbers, and then you've got soulful acoustic as well and great dancing, Ms Spencer said.
