About Us

New Musicals Australia is an initiative dedicated to the development and production of original music theatre. If you're an emerging writer or composer, we can help get your work off the ground. Through a series of development programs, your script and score will be placed in the hands of professionals and brought to life in front of experts and general audience members.

Our workshops are designed to benefit projects at all different stages of their evolution, ranging from excerpt presentations to staged readings and rehearsed performances.

We provide a network for you to make connections with high-level industry professionals, creative industry leaders, potential collaborators, and your fellow creatives. New Musicals Australia also works with a variety of other initiatives targeted at developing new works, providing an even broader support base for independent writers.

In collaboration with the Australia Council, Century Venues has founded this initiative, turning over its venues and infrastructure as an investment in the future of Australian musicals.
