Am I dreaming, or nobody has ever listened to an australian musical, and I don't mean an australian cast/version of a Broadway or London show, a real original musical with kangooroo in it ?!

I assume you mean The Boy from Oz? I have never actually heard that.... it never really enraptured me as Wicked or Ragtime did, and as such have never felt a strong pull to buy it ...

No, I didn't mean the Boy from Oz, though it's quite a good one in its built-with-old-pieces kind... I meant things like "Pâris", "Mary Bryant", "Dirty Money" "Someone's son", "Prodigal son", "A Portrait of Love", "Primates", "The republic of Myopia"....all genuine productions from Australia and almost unknown in Europe or America....

Yep, I have 'Paris' and of course 'The Boy From Oz', plus 'Shout' and also 'Only Heaven Knows'. So yep, I have heard of some Oz musicals:) And of course I have several CDs with the wonderful Anthony Warlow:) 'The Secret Garden' also started life downunder and must have been amazing with both Anthony *and* Philip Quast:)
The advantage of Oz musicals is of course that can understand the language!!! ;-)

Yep.. it can't get better than that! ;D However that recording is waaayy too short. Why only 8 songs? I would have loved it even better if they put in a few more songs.

I doubt it, the Original Austrailian Cast only recorded 8 tracks only.

Well I prefer the original Oz recording of 'The Boy From Oz', the arrangements are better, on the OBC its a bit slow at times (much better live!). If you like more rock style then check out 'Paris', it also has Philip Quast in it Trouble is getting hold of Oz recordings isn't cheap
