Industry Reading: Clancy of the Outback - A Musical Adventure

Join us way out Woop Woop!

Marshall & Marrows, with the support of Salty Theatre, are thrilled to welcome you to the staged concert presentation of the new Australian musical, Clancy of the Outback - A Musical Adventure!

Designed for kids of all ages, and based on the beloved children's book series, Clancy of the Outback - A Musical Adventure tells a universal story of home, acceptance and identity through a uniquely Aussie lens. 1200 kilometres from his old home, 12-year-old Clancy is thrown into the unpredictability of country life with his Mum and the bright, colourful inhabitants of The Overflow. From a pesky paddock bomb to a baby kangaroo, a fearsome flood to a feral frenzy, Clancy will have to deal with all of the outback’s challenges in this family-friendly musical adventure. 

Composer and Co-director Earl Marrows shares, “With ‘jokes for the parents’, toe-tapping tunes and rich spectacle, we hope everyone can find something to latch onto; big-hearted characters, strong emotions and a whole lot of fun.”

“One of the most joyous experiences I have had in the theatre.”
