Whispering Jack: The John Farnham Musical

John Farnham – King of Pop, national icon, and the voice of a generation. But in 1986, he was a cash-strapped, middle-aged father navigating the Australian rock scene, and his future could have gone very differently.
In a suburban Melbourne garage, Farnham, alongside a new band and manager Glenn Wheatley, began crafting an album and a song called You’re the Voice – a record that would redefine his career and change their lives forever. This is the story of a sensation decades in the making.
To mark the 40th anniversary of Australia’s best-selling album ever, Whispering Jack, Sydney Theatre Company and Artistic Director Mitchell Butel have teamed up with Michael Cassel Group (Hamilton, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child), TalentWorks (Finding the Voice), and acclaimed writer Jack Yabsley (Gold Diggers) to bring Farnham’s story – his music, mischief, and genius — to the stage.
Whispering Jack: The John Farnham Musical celebrates not only hits like Pressure Down, Age of Reason, Two Strong Hearts, and That’s Freedom, but also friendship, family, and the enduring spirit of one of Australia’s greatest artists.
