On 13 May 2024 we celebrated Australian musical theatre writers, performers and producers bringing homegrown work to the international stage with a concert at the Australian High Commission HQ, Australia House in London.

Myself and Grace Taylor produced the evening to showcase Aussie creatives breaking through in London’s West End.

Take a look at the programme of performances on the night here.

We wrote in the programme:

Thank you for joining us for an evening celebrating Australian musicals and performers in the UK. We have an abundance of Australian talent thriving internationally and contributing to the outstanding musicals that entertain audiences around the world. Tonight is about showcasing some of that talent: from writers, composers, musicians, producers and performers. Some are mid-career, some have won the biggest awards, and others are having their first major debut. Congratulations to all the artists tonight. Please support them if you can; many are looking for investment in future productions and connections to further their careers and shows. Reach out and we can connect you – taylorwrightprods@gmail.com.

A heartfelt thank you to the Australian High Commission for platforming our homegrown talent, and supporting Australian cultural exports in the UK. Enjoy the show and see you at the theatre sometime!
