About The Emu War: A New Musical

From writer Lotte Pearl comes the hilarious new show The Emu War: A New Musical. Telling the little-known, but bizarrely true tale of the 20th century Australian conflict (think: man versus very large bird), this uplifting original musical carries a moving antiwar message that is pertinent today. With catchy and charming songs by Lotte Pearl (music, lyrics & book) and Toby Little (music).
