Keating, the musical!

If ever a politician was a contrast of stereotypes – “He da man!”

From Bankstown fibro to Eastern suburbs grandeur. Double breasted Amani was his signature – but he still had a passion for equity and the underdogs. Keating paved the way for Reconciliation and helped to keep some of the bastards honest.

From beginning to end, Keating the musical is a hoot – his colleague Prime Ministers are fair game and provide a rich backdrop for this hysterical version of Australian political history.  I will always see Mr Downer in fishnet stockings and Dr John ….  not sure about him!?

Clever staging – the band’s role in the show was really interesting  the way they moved between players and conscience like a chorus in a Greek tragedy.

Enjoy!
