HE AUSTRALIAN PREMIERE OF A NEW AUSTRALIAN WORK "STALKER: THE MUSICAL"

STALKER: THE MUSICAL
RPG Productions, the team behind last year’s surprise hit Big Fish (Hayes Theatre), is thrilled to bring to Sydney the Australian premiere production of STALKER: THE MUSICAL.

STALKER: THE MUSICAL is a brand new piece of Australian musical theatre. It is the brain child of three Australian writers: Andy Peterson, Alex Giles and David Russell, who have been working tirelessly over the last several years to make this show a reality.

The title is deliberately provocative, but the show isn’t about peeping toms or creepy voyeurs. It’s set in a dystopian world where ‘stalking’ is the norm, and there is only one rule in town: people cannot and do not fall in love.

The town is thrown into chaos when a stranger arrives on the scene, He has no idea how he came to be there, and no idea how to leave. Worse still, he introduces the town to the concept of ‘love’, with tumultuous results.

STALKER: THE MUSICAL comes to Sydney after successful seasons at the 2015 New York International Fringe Festival and the 2016 Chicago Music Theatre Festival.​
