OzMade Musicals is an annual concert by Magnormos Productions that celebrates and showcases Australian music theatre writing. OzMade Musicals debuts new works through ‘On the Drawing Board’, and combines their presentation with ‘OzMade Flashbacks’, which remember highlights from existing musicals.
The works presented ‘On the Drawing Board’ are selected from a national submission process hosted by Australian Musicals.com.
Each work is given up to one week of development time with professional creatives, and presented as a 15 minute scene and song vignette at the OzMade Musicals concert.
‘OzMade Flashbacks’ are curated separately, and often involve the original performers and creative teams.
Previous OzMade Musicals have included:
• THE BEAUTY SPOT (David W Young)
• Metro Street (Matthew Robinson)
• Joe Starts Again (Martin Croft and Dean Lotherington)
• Love Equals (Craig Christie and Kristin Keam)
• Virgins (Dean Bryant and Mathew Frank)
• All Het Up (John Thorn, Fiona Thorn and Guy Rundle)
• Paris (Jon English and David Mackay)
• James and Maggie (David Reeves and Peter Yeldham)
