Lola Montez (musical)

Lola Montez is a 1958 Australian musical. It was written by Alan Burke, Peter Stannard and Peter Benjamin and focuses on four days of Lola Montez visiting the Ballarat Goldfields.

Production Details

The Australian Elizabethan Theatre Trust funded a trial production at the Union Theatre Repertory Company in Melbourne in early 1958.

This led to a large-scale Australian Elizabethan Theatre Trust production later in 1958, presented in Brisbane and subsequently Sydney.[1][2][3] This ran for more than 100 performances.[1]

The musical has been much revived since.[4]

Adaptations

It was adapted for TV by the ABC in 1962[5] and 1965.[6]
