1 1 Evie May Hugo Chiarella , 2018 single work musical theatre

'In 1966, on the evening of the last ever Tivoli performance in Sydney, veteran variety star Evie May (Amanda Harrison) recalls the events that lead her from obscurity in regional Western Australia to the bright lights of the Australian variety circuit and the many sacrifices she made to get there.

'Forced to run away from home at an early age, Evie spent her whole life trying to escape the pain of her past. As the final curtain comes down on the Tivoli and everything that has come to define her, Evie struggles to find her place in a world that no longer values the very thing she has spent her life pursuing.

'EVIE MAY offers a compelling take on memory, motherhood, and the fascinating characters populating Australia’s rich theatrical history.' (Production summary)

1 2 y separately published work icon DreamSong Hugo Chiarella , Robert Tripolino (composer), 2011 Z1771825 2011 single work musical theatre humour 'America! The land of hope, opportunity, and DreamSong. Pastor Richard Sunday is in trouble. His Evangelical Megachurch, DreamSong, has lost millions in the Global Financial Crisis and the future is looking grim. To continue saving the souls of America, Pastor Richard hatches a plan to stage the second coming of Jesus and market him as a Centerfold Superstar. Using traditional music theatre conventions, "DreamSong" invokes the heartfelt earnestness of Christian pop and American power ballads with a touch of gospel, Yiddish folk and the occasional Broadway-styled show tune.'
