Lola and the Highwayman is a 1965 Australian TV special. It consisted of selected songs from the Australian stage musical Lola Montez and The Highwayman. Melbourne producer Fred Axian said "some of the melodies from these musicals are among the best in the world." Songs selected from the musical were interwoven in a story to give it continuity.[3] Eleven songs were used in all.[2]
