A brand new Australian musical, Bananaland will see the light of day as part of the upcoming Brisbane Festival in a co-presentation with the Queensland Performing Arts Centre (QPAC). It is the brainchild of talented husband and wife team, Keir Nuttall and Kate Miller-Heidke, who have jointly written the lyrics and music for this comedic music theatre work.
Phillips was impressed on reading the work and says: ‘It was drawn from a wealth of their personal experience, trying to speak their own truth, but at the same time being diverse. It’s about a lot of things in the world, other than just a struggling band. It’s social satire on very many levels and it’s been a really fun ride.’
