Composed 2024 for Musical Theatre
Everything in Australia Can Kill You was premiered in a staged reading on July 19, 2024 by students, faculty, and alumnx of the Vermont College of Fine Arts.
A group of tourists comes to Australia for the biggest marketing campaign of the century. But when counterclockwise toilets, mythical drop bears, and linguistic nuance all come to call, no one’s safety is guaranteed, even with signed release forms! Featuring all-original songs, Everything in Australia Can Kill You is a bloody good romp down under, the first new show in a decade from the creative minds behind Jurassic Park: The Musical, Spider-Man: The Musical: The Musical, and more.
Music and Lyrics by Ben Kaye-Skinner
Additional Lyrics by Phil Malcom
Additional Music by Tomás Campbell, Trey Dugger, and Ken Topham

Murderous acts mostly by God
EIACKY started as a throwaway joke in a brainstorming meeting in 2017 and eventually became the thesis project for my master’s degree. The script was a collaboration with my Colonel Mustard Amateur Attic Theatre Company friends Aaron Holmes and Phil Malcom.
