1 The Deb Hannah Reilly , Megan Washington (composer), 2022 single work musical theatre

'High school outcast and whimsical mega-dork Taylah longs to be the princess in her own fairy tale. Which isn’t easy in Dunburn – a drought-stricken Aussie town struggling for survival, where cool girls and footy hunks lead the pack. But when her hyper-woke, inner-city cousin Maeve comes to stay, the pair join forces on a quest to make their mark on the best night of the year: the town’s annual Debutante Ball. In their search for social redemption and the spotlight, chaos ensues – along with a whole lot of fake tan, lace, and diamante tiaras for ya up-do.

'Conceived and co-directed by the hilarious Hannah Reilly (Winner of the 2019 Rebel Wilson Comedy Commission) with original music by multi-ARIA Award-winning Megan Washington, The Deb is a heart-warming and uproarious coming-of-age story about friendship, courage, and the beauty of coming out as yourself.

'Don’t miss the debut of what will no doubt join Muriel’s Wedding and FANGIRLS in the ranks of beloved Australian stage musicals.'

1 Yarramadoon : The Musical Hannah Reilly , Eliza Reilly , 2018 single work musical theatre

'Welcome to Yarramadoon. A semi-rural town just off the M5, with by far the highest rate of both teen pregnancy and sinkholes in Australia. Set in history’s most awkward decade, the 2000s, when jean shorts were at their baggiest, there’s nothing for 16-year-old Sharmane to do but wait for the internet to dial up and dream of a bigger life outside her shitty town.

'She fantasises of a job making frappuccinos in the big smoke, a sweet boyfriend with frosted tips, and one day owning a flip phone. But while waiting for the only bus out of town, a local old man tries to convince her to stay, by revealing the true and magical history of Yarramadoon.' (Production summary)
