MY BRILLIANT CAREER
A NEW MUSICAL BY DEAN BRYANT AND MATHEW FRANK
Monash University’s Alexander Theatre in Clayton will play host to an original musical adaptation of the legendary coming-of-age novel ‘My Brilliant Career’ by Miles Franklin.
My Brilliant Career takes us into the world of fiery misfit Sybylla as she wrestles against the restricted life on offer for a young woman in rural Australia a hundred years ago. Growing up in a time when women are supposed to be demure and subservient to their husbands, wannabe-writer Sybylla is desperate to live an independent life, but will she risk it all in hopes of a ‘brilliant career’?
Written by Dean Bryant and Mathew Frank, who won Green Room awards for their musicals Prodigal and Once We Lived Here, the score promises a mix of period Victoriana and contemporary pop, bringing vividly to life one of Australia’s most loved feminist characters.

We loved it! The cast were mesmerising , a great Australian story retold with some modera twists. The talent was top rate.
Impressive production of this new Australian musical. A top line-up of professional actors blended with performing arts students from Monash University. A special mention to a tour de force performance by Luisa Scofani as the lead.

Some very good songs and fantastic performances. Uniquely Australian flavour.
Went to Ian Potter Centre in the City by mistake. Sorry I missed out.
very creative staging, excellent singing
I loved this fabulous adaptation. The storyline is classic and the principal cast (especially main character Sybylla) were terrific as was the orchestra. Remember to also keep an eye on the conductor from time to time.
Excellent cast and production. Excellent sound track and songs unfortunately marred by overused dissonance making difficult for actors to enter at right pitch.
It is a brilliant show indeed! Everything is outstanding! I was smiling the whole time!! Thank you !
Entertaining period musical with a strong cast and exceptional lead performance by Luisa Scrofani as Sybillia. Musical scores were excellent and played well by the conductor and her small ensemble. An enjoyable evening.
