The Crazy Coqs Presents: Craig Christie’s Crusade – The 25th Anniversary Concert!

The Crazy Coqs continues its season of new shows, each with a different musical theme, featuring the cream of the West End and Beyond, presented by Mark Robert Petty with Craig Christie and with Musical Direction by Tom Arnold.

Join us for the 25th Anniversary Concert of the musical Crusade by Craig Christie. With music by Craig Christie and Wayne Hosking.

CRUSADE is an epic musical based on the medieval story of the Children’s Crusade which was created in the mid 1990s by Craig Christie (Eurobeat – Winner Best Musical at Edinburgh Fringe, 2007, and Novello, 2008). After what remains the largest concert production of an original Australian musical ever in Melbourne May 1998 it went on to an acclaimed production at the Edinburgh Fringe 2000.

To celebrate the 25th anniversary of this event the original cast has reunited to present a concert event on a scale seldom seen at Crazy Coqs. With its soaring melodies and heartfelt narrative we look forward to recapturing the magic that brought together a group of performers who went on to stellar West End and international careers!
