The Emu War: A New Musical
Inspired by the true events of The Great Emu War of 1932, this new comedy musical tells the story of WW1 veterans trying to grow wheat in the Australian outback.
About The Emu War: A New Musical
From writer Lotte Pearl comes the hilarious new show The Emu War: A New Musical. Telling the little-known, but bizarrely true tale of the 20th century Australian conflict (think: man versus very large bird), this uplifting original musical carries a moving antiwar message that is pertinent today. With catchy and charming songs by Lotte Pearl (music, lyrics & book) and Toby Little (music).
