Go behind the scenes in the process of writing, casting and producing a major stage musical as P.J. Hogan (My Best Friend’s Wedding, Peter Pan) adapts his iconic 1994 film Muriel’s Wedding into a musical, produced by Sydney Theatre Company and Global Creatures.

Making Muriel examines the enduring popularity of Muriel’s Wedding, the origins of the story and characters and how – 23 years after becoming a surprise box office hit – the uniquely Australian female protagonist Muriel Heslop will be reinterpreted for the stage. The films chronicles the full creative process up to the world premiere of Muriel's Wedding The Musical at the Roslyn Packer Theatre in early November 2017.
