THE SHOW

Not the boy next door!

Grab your maracas for this tour de force musical that scored

Hugh Jackman his landmark Tony Award for Best Performance

by a Leading Actor. The Boy From Oz skillfully weaves

Peter Allen’s sensational song catalogue into a brilliant night out!

From his relationship to Liza Minnelli and a fabulous but

high-maintenance mother-in-law Judy Garland, to revelations

around his identity, The Boy From Oz is a glittering re-telling

of the life of Australia’s original song-and-dance man,

the one who always called Australia ‘home’.
