Seek the untold

Welcome to Musical Theatre Australia. We work and live on Jinibara and Gubbi Gubbi country, in the beautiful Sunshine Coast Hinterland, Queensland. Our mission is to create uplifting musicals that place women and queer people at the centre of history, not on the periphery.

We went on our first tour!

In March and April 2025, we took our award-winning musical “A Girl’s Guide to World War” on the road for the very first time!

We are so grateful to everyone who came to see us!

We had sell out shows, with extra performances added to meet demand! The wonderful feedback we received from audiences will stay in our hearts forever.
