Rugby League The Musical celebrates all the on and off field misbehaviour, controversy, villainy, treachery and pantomime that makes Rugby League - The Greatest Game Of All! And there’s a lot to celebrate - a new chairman and CEO, crackdowns, lockdowns, bunker bungles, barbecues, and coach sackings, yet Queensland still selects non-Queenslanders for State Of Origin.
The Greatest Game of All has all the elements to make it The Greatest Musical of All - except music. Producer/performer Denis Carnahan just adds music. He doesn’t have to make up the stories, because Rugby League’s narrative is way more creative, theatrical and far-fetched than any music theatre librettist would dare to write. And no other musical has complementary half time oranges!
Denis has been writing sports parody songs for two decades for The Footy Show, Fox Sports, and The Matty Johns Show. He currently writes a song every week for ABC Grandstand.
