Following months of anticipation, planning, rehearsals, and countless hours behind the scenes, ANU’s 20th Med Revue took to the stage over three nights in May, with an Abba themed production – Mamma Medicina! On the Wards Again.

With than 1,000 tickets sold, this year’s production raised a record-breaking $20,000+ for Companion House, to support its vital work assisting refugees and survivors of torture and trauma within our community.

This year’s show captured the experience of medicine from many perspectives – the medical student, the experienced practitioner, family-members, and partners. Through comedy, music, and heartfelt moments, it explored the uncertainties and challenges of the profession while celebrating the joy, humour, and camaraderie that make the journey worthwhile.

Med Revue has long been a welcome creative outlet from the pressures of medical studies, bringing together medicine students from Years 1 to 4 in a unique collaboration that forges friendships, develops talents, and creates lifelong memories.

This year’s production involved more than 100 students, including the cast, band, chorus, dancers, producers and many volunteers working behind the scenes.

It was directed by Charlotte Raftesath and Soojin Lee, produced by Stephani Viljoen and Ryan Nielsen, with choreography by Katriel Tan and Naomi Yong, music direction by Tori Gillespie and John Hui, chorus direction by Catherine Lindsay, and videography by Josh Abelev.
