WORLD PREMIERE

Directed by Sheridan Harbridge

Not just another absurdist electro-swing musical comedy about a thoroughbred racehorse Phar Lap is a rags-to-riches story with a big heart. If you’re thinking elaborate life-size puppetry and dazzling special effects you couldn’t be more wrong (we don’t have the budget). Suspend your disbelief as an actor swaps his horseshoes for tap shoes to play one of Australia’s most beloved icons.
 
 When an awkward gangly horse from New Zealand meets a hapless down-on-his-luck trainer they embark on a classic underdog story to win the Melbourne Cup and Australians’ hearts and minds. The road isn’t easy – there are gambling scandals double-crosses an attempted shooting and a career-threatening addiction to sugar. It’s high stakes high drama and highly historically accurate.
 
 Phar Lap boasts an irresistible electro-swing score with inspirations from Duke Ellington to Daft Punk. Brassy lively and retro – these songs will take you from the race course to the rave hall.
 
 Pop the champagne harness up and get ready for a wild ride.
