BANJO: The Musical

 BANJO will sweep you into the ache and awe of pre-Federation Australia.

Through his hardships in 1880s rural Australia, Paterson’s time as a writer and lawyer in the dusty, dirty streets of Sydney, and his bitter return to the country, BANJO follows Paterson’s dreams of a wilder Australia.

This unique musical delivers an “incredibly moving experience” (Former NSW Arts Minister, Ben Franklin). The masterful weaving of Paterson’s verse, Coldplay’s music, and contemporary dance creates a raw, contemporary, and honest journey of love, connection, and sacrifice. "It’s a cyclone; I hardly took a breath. "

BANJO invites you to be transported back to a breathtaking land— Australia of old.

Take the dusty track to paradise…
