After a decade of research and development and 40 years since it’s controversial demise, an original Australian production about ‘The Greatest Ballroom in the Southern Hemisphere’ will for the first time, tour all the Eastern states of Australia.
Cloudland the Musical features some of the country’s newest and brightest artistic talent alongside home grown, world class seasoned performers.
It features the music of Iconic Australian & international acts such as: Cold Chisel, Buddy Holly, The Angels, Jerry Lee Lewis, JOK, The Bee Gees, Australian Crawl, The Go Betweens, Mental as Anything, Split Enz and more.
All of these artists performed at Cloudland during her 43 year reign as the premier live music venue. Cloudland Ballroom was no ordinary music venue and this is no ordinary production. The characters have been developed based on interviews from people who worked, performed and frequented the venue.
“The production is reminiscent of what you might expect from dramatic theatre or film, not a traditional musical. The music is been woven into a storyline of real events. The story of 3 generations of a family and how Cloudland impacts each of their lives, all set to music. Cloudland wasn’t just another venue, she was the cultural and social hub for over 40 years.” Paul Hayman, Writer, Director and Producer of Cloudland the Musical
Cloudland the Musical will be performing in Sydney on Saturday 11 February at The Concourse Theatre, Chatswood as part of its inaugural National tour.
