Where is the Iron Mask?

Grand opening of the musical "The Man in the Iron Mask" will be on 15 and 16 July 2009 in Melbourne High School.

The Live in Concert show will be performed by best musicians of Melbourne High School that form a 25-piece orchestra conducted by Luke Stevenson.

Ross Unger will direct and produce the musical. This time he decided to show a Live in Concert vesrion (A la Les Miserable). This version will be in 2 acts, duration: 2 hours.

The show begins at 7.00 PM. Do not be late!

Full version of the musical "The Man in the Iron Mask" was completed on 4 December 2008.

After months of hard work 2 folders with script, lyrics and orchestrated score have magically appeared on the desk of the author - Ross Unger. All the material was submitted for consideration to several small musical theatres in Melbourne, Australia.

There was a very positive feedback from Pratt Prize for Musical Theatre Awards 2008 that actually selected Ross Unger and The Man in The Iron Mask as a finalist in 2008 competition.

Plans for the Future

Ross plans to stage The Man in The Iron Mask in a big theatre, and finally, and possibly the ultimate goal, to make it into a movie.

This may sound rather ambitious, but is not as farfetched as it sounds. With the proper contacts, and financing, this will be a very succesful musical.

Meanwhile we welcome you to browse this website were you can read independant reviews on the musical, listen to songs from the musical in MP3, watch some video clips of the musical, meet the cast of the musical and .. come back again we have big plans!"

Iron Mask Musical - the Beginning

"I began writing this musical in November, 2005.
It has been a part time project, into which I have invested a lot of time and energy.

As a result, I have written, and recorded almost 30 songs, which make up the musical.

There is still work to be done. Specifically, script needs to be polished. Same applies to arrangement of many of the musical pieces.

But guess what - the "pilot" was staged on 19 December 2007.

The first performance was in the Memorial Hall of Melbourne High School.

We have produced the CD, DVD and T-Shirt. Those may become a colletcor's items - some time later."
