The Lucky Country Review
A genre-hopping musical comedy, The Lucky Country tackles the question of national identity with real heart and humour.
With a cast of six and a taut production set-up that screams indie budget, The Lucky Country is a contemporary comic chamber musical about Australian identity that punches well above its weight.
The show premiered in Sydney in 2023 and returns as part of Melbourne Fringe Festival before it travels onto Brisbane.
With music and lyrics by Vidya Makan in collaboration with director Sonya Suares, it offers a musical mixed lolly bag, with earworm-friendly bangers about what it means to be Australian and ballads laden with local music and pop culture references.
The Lucky Country review: 'absolutely, vitally funny'
Author's summary: The Lucky Country is a funny musical comedy about Australian identity.
