The Dismissal is a new Australian musical created and produced by independent theatre company Squabbalogic, and based on what is considered Australia’s greatest constitutional and political crisis. It features characters ranging from former prime ministers Gough Whitlam and Malcolm Fraser to then governor-general Sir John Kerr and TV comedy star Norman Gunston.

“We wanted to create something a bit more serious than Keating! and a bit funnier than Hamilton,” says co-writer and director Jay James-Moody. “It’s a political satire and a satire of musicals themselves.”

The show runs from 26 August 2023 at Sydney's Seymour Centre.
