BANJO

The Acclaimed Musical.

BANJO will sweep you into the ache and awe of pre-Federation Australia.

Through his hardships in 1880s rural Australia, Paterson's time as a writer and lawyer in the dusty, dirty streets of Sydney, and his bittersweet return to the country, Banjo follows his restless search for identity and his dreams of a wilder Australia.

The masterful weaving of Paterson’s verse, Coldplay’s music, and contemporary dance creates a raw, stirring, and deeply human journey of love, connection, and sacrifice.

Evoking the timeless beauty of the bush and the heartbeat of a country finding its voice, Banjo invites you to be transported back to a breathtaking land - Australia of old.

Take the dusty track to paradise…

I highly recommend this incredibly moving experience. It is breathtakingly good. - Hon. Ben Franklin, Former NSW Minister for the Arts.
