1 Lasseter Reg Livermore , Sandra McKenzie , Patrick Flynn (composer), 1971 single work musical theatre

Musical

Lasseter follows the spiritual journey of a disillusioned group of young people who leave the city and temptations of consumer society in search of a Utopia in the Australian desert. The title of the musical was inspired by the explorer Harold Bell Lasseter.
1 2 West of the Black Stump Reg Livermore , Sandra McKenzie , 1964 single work musical theatre humour

This second attempt by Livermore to write a musical saw him spoof the western genre. The programme noted that this production was 'a child’s game of cowboys for adults,' and was described by G. C. Power in the Canberra Times as 'Australia’s reply to Oklahoma, High Noon and Little Red Riding Hood' (p.19). Set in the fictional Australian frontier town of Witchety Grub the usual stock of Western characters act with quite un-Western-like behaviour.
