Tickets are now available for the debut season of STELLA: The Musical, a new Australian work chronicling the extraordinary life of Australian author Miles Franklin. Best known for her debut novel My Brilliant Career, Franklin’s early success launched her into the literary spotlight, but also cast a long shadow. STELLA: The Musical tells the story of an 1890’s bush girl from the Snowy Mountains who sacrifices family, security and belonging in relentless pursuit of a creative life – and her stunning contribution to Australian culture.

STELLA: The Musical plays the Alexander Theatre, 12-20 June 2026. This season is playlisted on the VCE Theatre Studies curriculum. For school bookings email Ticketing@StellaTheMusical.com
