SYNOPSIS
Frankston is dead. An extremist local Mayor has been voted in, banning musical theatre. What was once a happy-go-lucky outer-suburban ghetto by the sea, where musical theatre gangs serenaded teenage mums in the mall, has been transformed into a world where the sun doesn’t shine and it’s no longer legal for straight men to act gay.
But when two young musical men with a passion for football and jazz ballet stage a protest show, there are fireworks in the Centrelink queue. Can these musical rebels convince the townsfolk to reconsider?
“It’s like Footloose, but with more bogans.” Kevin Bacon
“I Heart Frankston is a great piece…adored by those who will never tire of jokes about Frankston.” Zoe Rinkel, artsHub
