The Lucky Country Review
The Lucky Country is a genre-hopping musical comedy that tackles the question of national identity with heart and humor, described as "absolutely, vitally funny".
With a cast of six and a minimalist production setup, this comic chamber musical about Australian identity exceeds expectations despite its indie budget.
The show premiered in Sydney in 2023 and is set to return as part of the Melbourne Fringe Festival before traveling to Brisbane.
The music and lyrics, created by Vidya Makan in collaboration with director Sonya Suares, offer a diverse range of songs, from catchy tunes about being Australian to ballads rich in local music and pop culture references.
