Gang Shows and Other Theatrical Experiences
- Melbourne Gang Show - started in 1953. "Wonderful Life", by Ralph Reader, is used as its signature tune. From its 25th season through to its 49th, cast and crew would also sing "Touch of Silver" after the curtain came down on the final performance, but in 2002, for the 50th Melbourne Gang Show, this was replaced by "Golden Days" with lyrics by John Jenkins and music by Alexandra Boemo and this new song continues to be used in this way.
