Craig McLachlan made his stage debut when he starred in the Australian production of The Rocky Horror Show as Dr Frank-N-Further. This was followed in 1993 by his starring role as Danny Zuko in the hugely successful sold-out run of Grease in London’s West End. Craig went on to star as Caractacus Pott in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Bob Wallace in White Christmas and Billy Flynn in Chicago. He also experienced the thrill of starring in productions that were transplanted from theatres and restaged in 15.000 seat sporting arenas. Both Grease-The Arena Spectacular and Happy Days The Arena Mega-Musical set attendance records.

In 2013/14 Craig reprised his starring role as Dr Frank-N-Further in The Rocky Horror Show, winning a coveted Helpmann Award, then starred in several subsequent Australian productions which saw him rock-out in well over 300 performances.
