The Lucky Country is a smash hit new musical about what it means to be Australian. Its award winning and critically acclaimed original score pays homage to some of Australia's all-time greats (think Baker Boy, Jimmy Barnes, Kylie Minogue, The Seekers, Electric Fields, even the Play-school theme and more); ultimately digging deep into themes of identity and belonging. The show is camp, hilarious and transcendent. Featuring an ensemble of six outstanding performers and a five-piece band (including yidaki), The Lucky Country is a fresh, funny and heartfelt celebration of who we can be as Australians.
With Music and Lyrics by Vidya Makan (Hamilton, SIX) in collaboration with director Sonya Suares (Sunday in the Park with George, Into the Woods), The Lucky Country is the urgent Aussie musical you’ve been waiting for!
