Original Music

Sean Peter is a multi-award-winning Australian composer, lyricist, and music producer with over 30 years’ experience across theatre, film, and television. Like the infamous mechanical shark itself, his music is most powerful when it’s felt rather than seen.

Sean has written extensively for film and television, including family features and premium children’s content for DisneyNickelodeon, and the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. His work is grounded in story and character, whether supporting quiet, uncertain moments or helping land a big theatrical beat. The guiding principle is always the same: clarity, restraint, and emotional honesty — music that knows why it’s there and doesn’t overstay its welcome.

With The Shark Is Broken, Sean brings a light touch, a deep love of cinema, and just enough bite to remind us that great music—like great sharks—works best when you don’t quite see it coming.

StoreyBoard Entertainment produce works rarely seen in Australia for audiences who demand breathtaking, original, and exciting theatre. After a successful London, Broadway and international career Adrian Storey Head of Storeyboard Entertainment immigrated to Australia and decided to produce theatre equal to that seen in London or Broadway.

This ethos has already seen results with the first professional production ‘Follies – in concert’ starring Lisa McCune & David Hobson staged in 2017 & ‘Barnum’ starring Todd McKenney in 2019.  Both productions were critical and commercial successes.  More recently the company invested in the London production of ‘Be More Chill’ at The Other Palace and ‘Mr Saturday Night’ starring Billy Crystal on Broadway.  ‘Chess the musical’ starring Natalie Bassingthwaighte, Paulini & Rob Mills, toured Australia in 2021 playing to sell-out audiences in Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth and Brisbane.

In 2023, the first ever professionally produced production of acclaimed musical author Jonathan Larson’s ‘tick, tick…BOOM!’ starring Hugh Sheridan toured Australia to great reviews and box office success.

StoreyBoard Entertainment also acts as a general management company for “Magic Mike Live, Australia’, ‘Cirque Stratosphere’ and ‘Fiddler on The Roof’.
