Keating! is a musical theatre production which portrays the political career of former Australian Prime Minister Paul Keating. Keating was Prime Minister between 1991 to 1996; the musical follows him from his ascent to the leadership through to his eventual electoral defeat by John Howard. It was written by Casey Bennetto who was inspired to write the show by his disappointment at the results of the 2004 federal election which saw Howard’s Coalition government returned for a fourth term.
