  • Performed by: Arthur Hull

  • Outside Eye: Anni Davey

  • Produced by: Fruitful Productions

The neon lights aren't always bright on Broadway, for every hit, there are fifty flops. This snappy little show is a love letter to the rollercoaster world of musicals and the people who make them - people who need people. From commercial and critical failures to obscure and forgotten gems, Arthur sets out to prove that every musical can be proud of at least one song.

Arthur is a recent graduate of the famous Flying Fruit Fly Circus, has gone viral on The Voice Australia and won the two top awards at this year's National Busking Championships.
