The George Orwell Estate in London has given us permission to stage the first musical adaptation of this famous novel in 15 years - quite a nod to the calibre of the work. We are looking for a professional Aussie company to perform the premiere. Orwells' representatives will be flying in to see the eventual production, with, hopefully, further approvals to sell the musical world-wide. I'm new to the difficulties of staging professional shows in Australia - can someone contact me with helpful advice? The materials are all ready to go - musical scores and librettos, rehearsal CD's etc.What a coup - new musicals don't usually start their life in Australia......

New musical? I may be going mad, but I'm sure I was in Animal Farm, the musical at university years ago.

Sorry - my error (damn those tuypos) ...should have read "first NEW musical adaptation..." apologies for all confusion.
