Crew and Cast of Time Warp Choose Metro Hotel Ipswich International - Metro Hotels

It’s astounding, time is fleeting and madness will take its toll at the Metro Hotel Ipswich International this month when the cast and crew of Time Warp: the Original Rocky Horror Tribute Show move in.

With two performances at the Ipswich Civic Centre on February 20 and 21, Metro Hotel Ipswich International agreed to play host to the colourful cast of the outrageous Time Warp show, including the Sweet Transvestite from Transylvania, Frank N Furter.


While the hotel staff may want to take a step to the left when the cast and crew arrive, audiences will be jumping to the right, placing their hands on their hips and bringing their knees in tight as they reminisce the 70s, doing the Time Warp again with the talented cast of one of the craziest musical horror shows ever to grace the stage.


The Time Warp Tribute Show features many of Australia’s most talented musical theatre performers who boast having been involved in many of the country’s most loved musicals. The production was created by veteran theatre/television director Elissa Meyer-Thomas and has toured nationally, regionally and internationally to sell out houses.


The cast and crew elected to stay at the four and a half star rated Metro Hotel Ipswich International, which is boutique in size but equipped with all the facilities of a much larger hotel.

The hotel has 97 well-appointed rooms including 11 one-bedroom Serviced Apartments, two Executive Spa Suites, 68 Superior rooms and 16 Deluxe rooms in six storeys overlooking pristine parklands.

When not performing, the Time Warp cast and crew will be perfectly placed to enjoy everything Queensland’s oldest provincial city has to offer, including the Workshops Rail Museum, steam trains, more than 500 parks, wineries, cafes, restaurants, cinemas and shopping centres. 

The hotel is also close to the many art galleries, markets, craft and antique stores that the city is renowned for, while the hotel’s signature restaurant Platform 9 serves a delicious a-la-carte menu. Adjoining the main restaurant is a stylish lounge and bar, perfect for catching a glimpse of cast members before or after the show.

Chefs To Help Tackle Obesity with Good Fork Week

Metro Hotel Ipswich International has joined other Chefs and foodservice operators across the country in the fight against obesity. By taking part in the inaugural Good Fork Week, where participating chefs have been asked to tweak menu items and deliver more nutritious options for diners.

The campaign, which is leveraging off October as National Health Awareness Month, and will run from 2 to 28 October.

Good Fork Week's launch follows the results of Unilever Food Solutions' World Menu Report 3, which looks at eating-out-of-home trends and found that 64 per cent of Australians eat out at least once a week and only half look for or choose a healthier option, despite 66 per cent saying they prefer healthier options.

David Manz Head Chef at the Metro Hotel Ipswich International has made so changes to the lunch time menu to include some healthy choices . One of David’s 'hero dish' menus can be found on the Unilever Food Solutions website

If you're interested in taking part or would like to learn more about the campaign, head to www.goodforkweek.com.au

Metro Hotel Ipswich International the Place To Be On Melbourne Cup Day

Metro Hotel Ipswich International will once again host its popular Melbourne Cup Luncheon, so it’s time to spruce up your favourite hat, get out your best dress and dust off your stilettos.

The 2012 Melbourne Cup runners will bound out of their starting gates at 3pm on Tuesday 6 November  – the moment when every true blue Aussie will be fixed to a screen watching  as some of the world’s finest horse flesh competes to win the country’s most coveted racing title. And you can be part of the action, watching it all on a super-sized screen along with a host of other party-goers at Metro Hotel Ipswich International.

Celebrations will commence at 12 noon and continue until the conclusion of the race, shortly after 3pm. For the price of $75 per person, guests will enjoy a 4-course lunch, a selection of beverages (including beer, house wine and soft drink), Sweepstakes, raffles, lucky door prizes, a fashion parade and, of course, prizes for the best hat and best dressed guest.

There will also be a prize for the best dressed stiletto heel, with guests invited to be creative and decorate one stiletto for the chance to win one of three prizes from Obsession Shoes.  Stilettos will need to be dropped off at the hotel two weeks prior, and you must be attending the Luncheon to enter the competition.

The Melbourne Cup Luncheon is being held in support of the Ipswich Hospital Foundation (Sunshine Circle Appeal).

Hotel General Manager Ted Matthews said the Melbourne Cup provides a wonderful opportunity to organise a group of friends or work colleagues, to dress up and to celebrate a fabulous occasion, while also helping to raise money for a worthy local cause.
