The Boy from Oz tells the dazzling, funny, and heartbreaking story of the great entertainer Peter Allen, from his humble beginnings growing up in the Australian outback through a meteoric rise to fame as an international star who would go on to sell out weeklong engagements at Radio City Music Hall. Singing in country pubs from age 11, Allen survived family tragedy to become a local TV star at age 16. Discovered by Judy Garland, he married her daughter Liza Minnelli and went on to become a beloved performer and an Oscar-winning songwriter. The production features stage and screen star Hugh Jackman as Allen. From Decca Broadway (www.iclassics.com/iclassics/broadway.jsp). —Troy Carrington
