After the huge success of her cabaret ‘Not Today’, the musical TikTok series ‘Girl Crush’ and countless gigs performances across Sydney, award-winner local musical comedian Ally Morgan returns with a new exceptional world premiere: ‘Hymns From My 20s’!

‘Hymns From My 20s’ takes us on a retrospective through her ‘greatest-hits’, and shares some never before heard songs, as she looks back on the tunes that made her who she is today before she turns 30. Whether you’re a first-time listener or a long-time fan, Ally Morgan’s ability to combine storytelling with songwriting means there’s something for everyone to enjoy. ‘Hymns From My 20s’ is a celebration of getting older and taking stock of what we’ve learned.
