First brought to global recognition through Peter Weir's iconic film, this musical adaptation powerfully reimagines the story through a female lens. On Valentine's Day in 1900, a group of teenage schoolgirls go on a picnic to the foreboding Hanging Rock. Three vanish without a trace. 

A tale that came to author Joan Lindsay in a dream, Picnic at Hanging Rock unfolds against a backdrop of Australia's wild natural beauty, exploring the fates of spirited young women determined to navigate the constraints of their futures. In giving voice to those who have been kept silent, it also brings a compelling First Nations perspective to light. Prepare to be captivated by a haunting exploration of innocence, mystery, and the unseen forces shaping our destinies.

The New York Times called Picnic at Hanging Rock “an exciting accomplishment, one that seems destined to live on in future productions.” The show was hailed by The New York Sun for its “endearing and moving performances” and called “a standout of the theater year” by The Daily Beast. New York Theatre Guide praised the musical's “moving lyrical craft and ethereal score.”
