AWNY hosted a group event at Picnic At Hanging Rock: The Musical recently. The experience was spine tingling, read on for more details.
This is the first in a series on New Yorkers raised by Australian parents and what that connection to Australia actually feels like from the kids’ side.
After leaving a legal career in Sydney to become a songwriter and performer, Greta Gertler Gold now adds composer and arranger for the new Picnic at Hanging Rock musical to her list of accomplishments. In the lead-up to the off-Broadway season December 2025/January 2026, Greta shares what led her to NYC and this extraordinary retelling of one of Australia’s most iconic bush tales.
Join AWNY members on Monday, December 22, 2025, for a special evening at the theater! Come see the new musical, Picnic at Hanging Rock, featuring music by AWNY member Greta Gertler Gold, and book and lyrics by Hilary Bell.
