Noosa Welcomes The Boy from Oz

The Boy from Oz tells the story of the life of legendary Australian entertainer and songwriter Peter Allen, from humble beginnings in the 1950s, growing up in Tenterfield NSW, to his rise to fame as a global phenomenon.

Peter was singing in country pubs at age 11. He survived family tragedy, to become a teenage TV star. Discovered by Judy Garland, he married her daughter Liza Minnelli and went on to achieve international stardom as a performer and song writer.

Director Ian Mackellar and his cast and can’t wait to present the show in October- November at Noosa Arts Theatre, along with Choreographer Nicole Kaminski and Lighting Designer Travis Macfarlane, and Costume Designer by Margaret Courtney.

Ian’s vision is to pay homage to the singer-songwriter and entertainer that was Peter Allen. His lyrics are emotional and poignant and his music stirring and memorable says Ian.

The musical includes many of Peter Allen’s best loved hits: ‘Quiet Please, There’s a Lady On Stage’, ‘Not the Boy Next Door’, ‘Everything Old is New Again’, ‘I Honestly Love You’, ‘I Still Call Australia Home’, ‘Tenterfield Saddler’ and ‘I Go to Rio’.

The Boy from Oz promises to take the audience on an emotional, humorous and entertaining journey celebrating the life of Peter Allen and paying tribute to stars like Liza Minnelli and the late great, Judy Garland, and showcasing an array of Sunshine Coast talent, headed by Sam Henderson performing the role of Peter Allen.
