Gang Show?!
Melbourne Gang Show is a youth musical, put on by the Scouts and Guides of the Melbourne area. Gang Show officially reached Melbourne in 1951 thanks to 9th Brunswick Scout group staging Ralph Reader's musical comedy We'll Live Forever. It was followed in 1953 by the first, proper Gang Show. With one show every year, it followed the traditional London revue format from the original Gang Shows, until recently it developed into two, packaged mini shows that we now see today.Melbourne Gang Show has spawned several other local shows in Victoria, among them being Camberwell, South Metro and Whitehorse Showtime.
