Frank Christie, Frank Clarke

Music by Alan McFadden

Lyrics by Stephen Fleming

An hilarious and surprising musical where an Australian highwayman reinvents himself as a multinational media mogul.

Based on the outrageously true story of Frank Gardiner, the show weaves music hall numbers, book scenes and songs into a tune-filled, high energy satire of the contemporary Australian psyche.  This show turns gold-field musical cliches on their heads in a riot of comedy with new fashioned bite.  Think THE VENETIAN TWINS meets CHICAGO.
