Episode 5: Original Australian Musicals

Following on from episode 4 and our look at Australian jukebox musicals, this week we take a look at original Australian musicals. We were pleasantly surprised to discover that there is actually a plethora original musicals written in Australia, and as a result, we decided to focus on four of the most recent and successful of these, including Keating, Shane Warne the Musical, Eurobeat, and The Hatpin. 

This week's episode is in 2 parts for easier listening and downloading time. Yay!

Part 1: Keating! and Shane Warne the Musical

Part 2: Eurobeat and The Hatpin, and new shows coming up
