The Lucky Country is a groundbreaking new musical about Australian identity. With an original score that pays homage to some of Australia’s greatest musicians (think Baker Boy, Jimmy Barnes, Kylie, The Seekers, Electric Fields and MORE), this 60 minute original mix tape takes audiences on a joyful and moving ride through a patchwork of Aussie stories. Digging deep into the themes of identity and belonging, The Lucky Country is heart-felt, wildly entertaining and a joyful celebration of a new vision of who we can be as Australians.

Featuring an ensemble of six outstanding performers and a five-piece band (including yidaki), it’s camp, pop, fresh and funny - and was a sensation with critics and audiences alike in its debut Hayes season in Sydney. The Lucky Country introduces a host of new Australian anthems, illuminated and amplified by an exceptional audiovisual design.
