Don't Just Take Our Word For It - Hear It From Teachers Like You
I was lucky enough to have a sneak peek at the E=mc² performance today, and folks, it won’t disappoint.
Spectacular and so relevant. I loved the message behind the musical, and I am so pleased to see this sort of thing in our schools.
The production was highly professional, educational and fun. What more could you ask for! The entire cast and crew were fantastic and looked like they were enjoying themselves at every performance. The script was very clever, and the musical pieces added great variety. It was brilliant to see the Women of Science get the recognition they deserved! Everyone who was involved should be incredibly proud of their effort.

- Inspires a love of learning through music and storytelling.
- Celebrates contributions of both famous and lesser-known scientists.
- Highlights women in science, inspiring and engaging girls in STEM fields.
- Features 10 hip-hop, choral and pop-style songs.
- The story follows four characters who use a time machine to meet iconic scientists like Albert Einstein, Michael Faraday, Emile du Châtelet, Antoine and Marie-Anne Lavoisier, Lise Meitner and Otto Hahn.
E=MC² the Musical is the family engagement component of Good to Great Schools Australia’s Oz-e-science Physics curriculum.
Incorporating music, acted scenes, dance and science experiments, it is delivered as a schoolwide performance involving every student.
Students and their families are also involved in pre-production activities such as making costumes and props.
Through songs, dance, raps and re-enactments of famous science experiment, the show explains the science behind Einstein’s brilliant achievement.
