Appropriate to the season, it stars three powerful women, and a swag of husbands, courting, marrying, and singing numbers like “Love Potion Number 36” and “The World is Mad”.

![Teacher Vanessa Jones has been living in Higgins since 2001, and while she loves the area, she says she is “fed up” with the neglectful ACT government.
The Higgins shops have been completely abandoned, says Vanessa, preventing the opportunity for residents to have a community-centred space to socialise.
They only received bins nine months ago, she says, and requests for a water station and repairs to the bus station have gone unanswered.
“It’s very, very slow,” says Vanessa.
“I asked for the zebra crossing on Fullagar [Crescent] to be repainted, and we had to wait about six or nine months.

“If you’ve got two people working, paying a mortgage, raising two or three kids, they don’t have the time,” says Vanessa.
