Description
Lucky has its audience in stitches with cultural clichés lambasted and local stereotypes lampooned but at its heart is a magically moving tale of artistic passion. A soaring score and song list make this a dazzling delight.
It’s a show that kids absolutely love to perform and adults find irresistibly entertaining. There are dozens and dozens of crackling characters with speaking parts big and small and a surplus of gutsy parts for both girls and boys. To top it off, it’s a cinch to rehearse with easily divisible scenes.

Lucky
$25.00 – $830.00 ex GST
Australian culture gets a Hollywood makeover in this vibrant, colourful and hilarious musical from the creators of You’re History!
Lucky and Byron are young Australian filmmakers passionately devoted to turning our history and heritage into an epic motion picture. But when sleazy producer Dingo steals their baby, the script is hawked to Hollywood and cultural sensitivity goes out the window in favour of box office bonanza.
Ned Kelly becomes a shoot-em-up action hero, the Eureka Stockade turns kung fu, The Man from Snowy River goes comic book superhero and undead zombie schoolgirls invade a picnic at Hanging Rock. There’s even a Bollywood dance number when the First Fleet hits an iceberg and winds up in Bombay!
With an extraordinarily embarrassing premiere looming, Lucky must race the clock to convince her fellow filmmakers that Aussie culture is worth fighting for!
A terrific performance DVD and extensive production booklet will guarantee your show runs smoothly and optional mixed media performance resources are available, providing animated graphics and sound effects. A great opportunity to combine forces with the film and television unit! You can also download the images for the flags mentioned in the script as Jpegs from the “download perusal materials” button, above.
This is a magnificent musical with toe-tapping songs and a passionate heart that your audience will adore? Lucky is without a doubt the quintessential Australian school musical…so, Get Lucky!

Well done on writing yet another AWESOME play! I have had so much fun being a part of it. The memories of it all will stay with me forever… especially the ‘Snowy City’ scene!

The play was hilarious. One of my sister’s friends came and she thought, ‘Oh no, a school play!’ but afterwards she was crying from laughing so much.

Thank-you for writing a wonderful play once again. I really enjoyed being in ‘You’re History’ last year and loved performing in ‘Lucky’ this year. It was a funny, entertaining script and great to perform.

What a beautifully uplifting production. Loaded with passionate scenes from Australian history, but uproaringly funny! Dame Molly was spectacular and the Banjos brought the house down.

Maverick Musicals –
Totally overwhelming! The music, the dance and the sheer presence of the piece (despite being done on a reasonable budget) was simply extraordinary. Australians never get to see Australian history and culture being dealt with in such a fun, clever and entertaining way.

Thank-you so much for sharing your story. This year’s script was marvellous. I read it the first night I got it. Each character had a bright and enthusiastic personality, which us students fit into perfectly. The script guaranteed non-stop laughs.

Thank-you very much for writing the script ‘Lucky’. I had a lot of fun performing it and none of it would have happened without your extensive research of Australian history and your wonderful sense of humour.
