After causing Australia’s greatest ironic media fuss, Beaconsfield: The Musical* is BACK! This time it’s raising money to make audiences laugh all over the country. Beaconsfield; The Musical* is a savage look at the media circus surrounding the 2006 mine disaster. Brandt, Todd, Eddie, Naomi, Mel, Carlton, Kochie and even that prick Bill Shorten star in what can only be described as the feel-good pisstake of the year! Beaconsfield: The Musical* is a little bit Disney, a little bit Webber, and whole lot of Macquarie Bank. It's the story of the 2006 media circus behind the Beaconsfield mine disaster in a 55 minute musical. It's scathing, silly, and very, very, funny. This limited Sydney run of the show will be raising money for the production to tour to the Adelaide Fringe, Melbourne Comedy Festival and Launceston. Starring Kate McLennan (The Mansion, Debutante Diaries), Robbie McGregor (Voice of SBS, Comedy Channel), Toby Truslove (Comicide, This Is Your Laugh), Amanda Buckley (iMpro3 Shuffle), Dan Ilic (Ronnie Johns, 9am) and special guest voice over by Mike Goldman (Big Brother). Written by Dan Ilic. Composed by Nigel Ubrihien (BIlly Elliot, Phantom) and directed by Luke Joslin (Guys and Dolls, Dirty Dancing).
