“Evie & The Birdman” is a wild, totally original piece of contemporary music theatre. Dig out the boogie board and dive right in, this show is a breath of fresh air. A Music Theatre equivalent of a day at the beach. Strap on your bird feathers, grab some chocolate and hold on for the ride. “Evie & The Birdman” is a pop musical with a very memorable and varied score. Evie and the Birdman is a very fast moving contemporary musical aimed at high school students, young adults and all those who can remember being young.
The show was first staged at the Bondi Pavilion, the original cast including Katrina Retallick, Emma Pask and Sam Moran. It was a rare thing: an independent production that made money! Since then has been staged 16 times by various theatre companies and schools (two restaged it in return seasons).
