Concert | Performances of Songs by Tony and GRAMMY winner from the Musical Picnic at Hanging Rock


The debut concert performance of songs from the forthcoming musical adapted from Joan Lindsay’s iconic Australian novel, which was made famous by Peter Weir’s film and Netflix’s TV series. Picnic at Hanging Rock tells the story of three schoolgirls and their teacher who go missing on Valentine’s Day, 1900. One girl is later found, but with no memory of what happened; the others are never seen again. Left without answers, the community begins to unravel—with shocking consequences. The haunting new musical is informed by First Nations Australian collaborators, with book and lyrics by Hilary Bell, music by Greta Gertler Gold, and orchestrations by Tony and GRAMMY Award winner Todd Sickafoose (Hadestown).
