Theatre service manager said audiences had been embracing the return of live performances.

"As nice as streaming content at home can be, nothing can replace the thrill of watching a live show, with your friends and family, at the theatre," he said. "It is as much about the show as the social experience and connection we provide.

"We've seen strong sales across the board for upcoming shows, with multiple performances added to ensure we can accommodate everyone who wants to come.

"This is a very exciting time for us, and I encourage everyone to come and see something - we have a huge lineup of different options.

"We're heading into a very busy May and June with many season performances still to go including some opera, drama, dance and comedy.

"We are also about to launch our next half year season next week - so keep your eye out in your mailbox or our website for all the great shows that are due to be launched."

Queen Forever will rock the city on Friday night with a stunning portrayal of Freddie Mercury portrayed by the very popular Gareth Hill.

The cover band's perfect depictions are carried throughout the night which will feature crowd favourites including Radio GaGa, We Will Rock You, We Are The Champions, Don't Stop Me Now, Somebody to Love, and of course, Bohemian Rhapsody.

The Sydney Dance Company will grace the Lighthouse Theatre with two workshops on Tuesday and a performance of Impermanence on Wednesday.

The masterclass will be taught by two Company dancers and include a contemporary dance technique warm-up and technique exercises, exploration of choreographic tasks the Company use to generate new movement and learning choreography from Impermanence.

Tuesday's workshops run for 90 minutes and begin at 4pm and 5.30pm with bookings made by emailing lighthouse@warrnambool.vic.gov.au with the group name and size.

Impermanence is a visceral and thrilling exploration of beauty and devastation.

Sydney Dance Company's full-length work, Impermanence is choreographer's Rafael Bonachela's newest creation and features contemporary composer Bryce Dessner's new score inspired by the tragedy of the Australian bush fires and Paris' Notre-Dame fire.

The performance will also feature a live soundtrack from the Australian String Quartet and begins at 7.30pm on Wednesday.
