Sheridan Harbridge is one of the writers of what, in my opinion, was the best thing I saw on stage last year, the musical My Brilliant Career. Some great news for lovers of Australian musicals is that The Melbourne Theatre Company has recently announced a return season early next year

Sheridan is joined on this episode by Steven Kramer who is the writer of another show which is about to stake its claim as the great Australian musical - or at the very least, a musical about a great Australian (or should that be great New Zealander?) Either way, the musical Phar Lap will be having its world premiere at Sydney’s Hayes theatre in October.
