The Boy From Oz opens in Sydney

The Production Company’s touring production of the hit Australian musical The Boy From Oz has opened at the Capitol Theatre in Sydney.

The Production Company’s touring production of the hit Australian musical The Boy From Oz has opened at the Capitol Theatre in Sydney.

It played its first performance last night, ahead of a press night this evening.

Audiences responded well to the somewhat scaled down production, with standing ovations for Todd McKenney and the rest of the cast at weekend performances.

This is the dazzling, funny and touching story of the great Australian entertainer Peter Allen, from his humble beginnings to his meteoric rise to fame as an international star. Singing in country pubs from age 11, Peter Allen survived family tragedy to become a local TV star at age 16. Discovered by Judy Garland, he married her daughter Liza Minnelli and went on to become a beloved performer and an Oscar-winning songwriter.

The show plays in Sydney for three weeks.
