On this episode of Showtime with Andrew G, I sit down with acclaimed musician, writer and composer Monique diMattina to talk about STELLA: A New Australian Musical, the powerful new production bringing the life of Miles Franklin to the stage.

Over a remarkable career Monique has worked with everyone from Bjork and Lou Reed to Disney Theatrical, while building one of the most distinctive creative voices in Australian music. Now, after seven years in development, STELLA is making its world premiere at the Alexander Theatre.

We talk about the chaos and joy of live performance, the challenge of creating original Australian musicals, rejection, resilience, creativity and why storytelling still matters in a world glued to screens.

Plus some hilarious backstage stories, honest industry truths and why Miles Franklin was far more rebellious, witty and fascinating than most Australians realise.
