The Beep Test

Information

‘The Beep Test’ is a hilarious new Australian musical that dives into the drama that was school Beep Tests. It follows four determined students and one far-too-enthusiastic PE Teacher of Class 7C as they compete to win, whatever the cost. The work is a rarity: an original Australian musical about and for young Australians. It is a midscale musical that can bump-in within a day, and be programmed by both city and regional venues. It has received multiple awards, performed sell-out seasons, and built a substantial online following, going viral on Tiktok with many Australians eager to see the work in their home-towns. With a compelling narrative, quality song and dance and broad audience appeal, presenters can confidently program the production knowing it attracts both school groups and the wider public, creating opportunities for varied audiences across matinee and evening performances
