Celebrating one of Australia's most loved groups, Georgy Girl - The Seekers Musical will tell the remarkable story of legendary pop group The Seekers, the first Australian band to achieve international success.
Opening in Melbourne on Tuesday December 22, Georgy Girl - The Seekers Musical, features all their hit songs including The Carnival is Over, I'll Never Find Another You, Morningtown Ride, A World of Our Own and of course, the Oscar-nominated Georgy Girl. Classic songs enjoyed by generations of music lovers around the world, and particularly by Australians, for whom The Seekers are part of their musical DNA.
Georgy Girl - The Seekers Musical follows the story of Judith Durham, Athol Guy, Keith Potger and Bruce Woodley, from their folk and jazz beginnings in Melbourne to their meteoric rise to world pop stardom in the -60s, to today.
This brand new musical is produced by Richard East, an originating producer of Mamma Mia!, and Dennis Smith, producer of Dusty – The Original Pop Diva, who are thrilled to be bringing this new production to Melbourne for its world premiere.
The show spans the decades from selling millions of records and topping the charts around the world, breaking up in 1968 and eventually reuniting in 1993, when they reformed for their -25 Year Silver Jubilee Reunion' tour, and to a sold-out UK tour last year for their 50th anniversary -Golden Jubilee' tour (including two capacity concerts at London's Royal Albert Hall) - and as of today, almost 13 million YouTube views of their classic I'll Never Find Another You footage from 1968.
Written by Patrick Edgeworth, Georgy Girl - The Seekers Musical tells the incredible story of one of the country's true national treasures. A band whose modest beginnings at a café in South Yarra took them to concerts around the world. It's a journey full of laughter, a few tears, but most of all, featuring the magnificent songs we all know and love.
And now the carnival continues with Georgy Girl - The Seekers Musical having its world premiere in Melbourne at Her Majesty's Theatre on Tuesday December 22 for a limited season of 14 weeks only!
Georgy Girl - The Seekers Musical is directed by Gary Young with musical supervision by Stephen Amos.
