This year Tyran presents three musicals with the first It's Only Life starring Broadway's John Bucchino; Marry Me A Little, a compilation of material cut from Stephen Sondheim's greatest shows and Nine The Musical performed on the stage of the Princess Theatre.
"It is a true joy to present the 2024 Australian Musical Theatre Festival program, which continues to celebrate, cultivate and educate around one of the world's most thrilling (and most popular) art forms," he said.
"Launceston again provides a truly unique stage, allowing us to align the magic of Tasmanian culture with both traditional and contemporary musical theatre, through a variety of offerings that are unexpected, thrilling and inspiring. This is musical theatre unlike you've ever seen it."
Queenie van de Zandt returns with "a buffet of entertainment on a lazy Susan" putting the fate of the show in the hands of the audience all in the surrounds of the beautiful Cataract Gorge.
First Nations music theatre artist Brittany Shipway will open the show.
