The Melbourne season follows an acclaimed two-performance run exclusively presented at Her Majesty’s Theatre Ballarat in late March, marking the musical’s long-awaited return to the stage nearly fifty years after its original premiere.

The production is directed by Victorian Opera’s Artistic Director Stuart Maunder AM (Follies, The Pirates of Penzance, La Rondine), with Simon Holt (Cats, Sweeney Todd, Sunset Boulevard) returning to conduct. Holt also contributed additional music and created new orchestrations for this revised version of the score.

The legend himself, Reg Livermore AO (Wicked, My Fair Lady, The Producers), stars in a cameo role as Mr Tarleton, the Bank Manager. Full casting to be announced.

Ned Kelly’s name is etched into Australian folklore. The infamous bushranger, his gang, and the iconic suit of armour continue to spark national debate: was he a champion of the underdog or a cold-blooded criminal?

Experience the triumphant return of Reg Livermore’s Ned Kelly: The Musical.

    Why Australians Number the Boxes:
    Australia combines Westminster government with preferential voting, unlike countries using first-past-the-post. Governments are formed by parties commanding lower-house majorities, while voters rank candidates and preferences transfer until someone achieves majority support. Introduced in 1918 to prevent vote-splitting, preferential voting strengthens minor-party participation and ensures election outcomes reflect broader voter preferences.

    Behind the Screen:
    Pornography can affect young people’s understanding of intimacy, consent, relationships and gender expectations, particularly after early or unwanted exposure. Because it often presents unrealistic and aggressive portrayals without communication or mutual consent, it may encourage pressure and distorted expectations. Education, open discussion and stronger safeguards can promote respectful, safe and healthy relationships.
