Overview

A school musical like no other

As featured in the ABC Landline documentary Outback Musical, students from Longreach School of Distance Education (LSODE) unite from across remote Queensland to create and perform their own original production despite living thousands of kilometres apart.

In their 7th biennial musical, 100 student performers will travel to Brisbane for the first time, bringing their energy and talent to the Playhouse stage in Grossbusters, a hilarious and high-spirited work by British playwright Craig Hawes.

Oozing with catchy songs, crazy characters and comic chaos, Grossbusters is a monstrously hilarious musical that celebrates difference, champions individuality, and proves that being yourself is the bravest thing of all.

If you’re looking for a show that’s a guaranteed monster hit, who ya gonna call? GROSSBUSTERS!
