Pastrana is an Australian musical by Allan McFadden and Peter Northwood. It is based on the true 19th century story of Julia Pastrana, a Mexican woman who was born with canine-like teeth and a thick mat of hair, but was also a singer. The musical traces her journey from Mexico to touring the United States and Europe under the managership of Charles Lent; a man whom she later married.
