Picnic at Hanging Rock (Original Off-Broadway Cast Recording) [MP3]
“There is enough musical invention and invigorating vocal energy in any one song from Picnic at Hanging Rock to power an entire season on Broadway.” – Jason Robert Brown
Picnic at Hanging Rock: The Musical is adapted from the acclaimed novel by Joan Lindsay, and features book and lyrics by Hilary Bell and music and arrangements by Greta Gertler Gold.
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.
