All poetry narrated in the musical was written by Banjo Paterson, including "Waltzing Matilda" (for which the music was written by M. Cowan).
Bruce Rowland composed the instrumental music for both the 1982 film The Man from Snowy River film and its sequel 1988 film The Man from Snowy River II (American title for the 1988 sequel: "Return to Snowy River"). Rowland composed special arrangements of some of his music for "The Man from Snowy River: Arena Spectacular" musical and also conducted the orchestra.
Lee Kernaghan and Garth Porter wrote the music and lyrics for the country songs. Lee Kernaghan also sang some of the country songs (which he had already recorded on some of his albums), during the concert scene.
AT the ARIA Music Awards of 2002, the soundtrack won Best Original Soundtrack, Cast or Show Album.
