The Boy From Oz

Production by MDS and STC

The Boy From Oz is the most successful Australian musical ever and the first to make it to Broadway. It is a musical biography/tribute to the late great Peter Allen.

Peter Allen was born in the outback Australian town of Tenterfield in 1944. He made his entertainment debut at the age of 5 impersonating Al Jolson. As a teenager, he became a pop star and then toured Asia. There he met Judy Garland who took him to London where he met and became engaged to her daughter Liza Minnelli. In the US, Peter enjoyed the highs of success by winning an Oscar, selling out performances in Radio City Music Hall, and receiving adulation when he returned to Australia. There were also plenty of lows—breaking up with his wife, staging a Broadway flop, the death of his partner, and his own battle with illness. Peter Allen had an extraordinary life which producer Ben Gannon realized had the potential to become a magnificent musical and with Robert Fox they turned it into the smash hit it became.

This year, Maffra Dramatic Society and Sale Theatre Company have joined forces to bring this incredible story to the stage once again. Together, they are excited to present a production filled with dazzling performances and heartfelt music that captures the spirit of Peter Allen's life. Don't miss this unforgettable show that promises to be as vibrant and engaging as Allen's own storied career!
