ABOUT THE SHOW
About the Show
The quintessential Australian story of how three clean-cut young men who looked like bank tellers, and a shy cuddly girl-next-door type, left their hometown to have a go at making the big time. Georgy Girl The Seekers Musical is the story of Australia’s iconic and most internationally successful group, The Seekers. Judith, the shy, insecure, teenager with a golden voice joins a folk group, The Seekers: Athol Guy the wheeler-dealer, Bruce Woodley the aspiring songwriter and Keith Potger the cool guitarist. After finding success locally, they travel to Britain, where thanks to Athol’s marketing skills, they get a foot in the door and despite knockbacks, soon burst on to the international Pop Scene. Judith, unprepared for stardom, struggles with weight issues, to find love, and work out what her future should be. The boys just enjoy the party while musically delivering the goods. There’s laughter and tears, highs and lows. Keith marries, Bruce becomes a hit songwriter, Judith has her heart broken and Athol takes it all in his stride. Four years on, the group breaks up when Judith decides to go home and resume her solo career and marries Ron Edgeworth, the love of her life. 25 years later, in an emotional reunion, The Seekers set off on their Silver Jubilee tour. A staggering success, it turns out to be one of many. Their timeless songs included "Georgy Girl", "I'll Never Find Another You", "A World of Our Own",
"The Carnival is Over" and "I am Australian."
