A New Musical
The Perfect Circle - A New Musical is an original musical theatre work with an emphasis on dramatic storytelling. This definitively Australian show captures the essence of the life-altering realisations which move us onward and upward. The show is comprised of four distinct short stories, innovatively framed by an interweaving structure and an immersive score, which deliver the open road, photogenic ducks, blueberry muffins and a touch of perfect sky. The show is by Tasmanian composer/librettist pair, Craig M Wood and Nicholas King.
The show premiered with favourable reviews on 11th February 2010 at the Mt Nelson Theatre (Studio) in Hobart, Tasmania, and is currently undergoing further creative development.
“The Perfect Circle is a brand new musical and a work of considerable scope and ambition. It’s one thing to write and stage a new work but it’s even better if you’re consciously striving to achieve something original, which is what Craig Wood and Nicholas King do here. ...The Perfect Circle is clearly grappling with questions of what a musical can be in this cynical age and what a modern Australian musical should be.
“...it’s impossible to not be impressed by what has been achieved here. The Perfect Circle is a remarkable work of tremendous power and humanity.”
- Briony Kidd, Australian Stage Online (Feb 2010)
