For Unto Y'all is born this day.....

I honestly can not believe we are only a week away from Christmas but this year and especially the last few weeks have flown by! I have been really busy though and so I suppose that makes a difference! With the end of Legally Blonde and then driving to Melbourne to see my sister Lauren get commissioned as a Salvation Army Officer at which my sisters and I also sang at (it was lovely to get back to singing together). November was over and December was here.

This December, Soul Factor Gospel Choir is reprising "For Unto Y'all - A Cowboy Christmas" the cowboy musical which we premiered last year. So I was straight into that! This year we are performing it at Scott Theatre Adelaide (one of my favourite theatres to work in, so many memories :) ) and it is bigger and we believe better! Plus it runs in the week up to Christmas and so provides a fabulous event for people to go to with family, or friends or workmates or whatever to get into the Christmas Spirit and have some fun while enjoying the message of love.

You might think that a comedy on the Christmas story and that its set in the Wild Wild West would take away from the message of Christmas but you would be wrong. The message is so strong and each one of those on stage radiates the joy of this amazing story. I really encourage you to get along to it if you can. Its for all ages and there are some fantastic performers alongside Soul Factor who are always top notch. The costumes are brilliant and set on a bigger stage its a show you will thoroughly enjoy. I am reprising my role of Kate O'Shaunessy (yes the Irish accent has returned) and I am joined by some of Adelaide's best talent Andrew Crispe, Michael Denholm, Angus Smith, Sam Davy, Olivia McCulloch, Lauren Potter, Adam Jaeger and Nathan Rowe and the list continues. Plus my parents are the ones behind it and with my mum, Sharon Raymond's musical talent in both performance and direction and my Dad, Howard's vision its a great team.

I think though what I love most about working with Soul Factor is the passion for what they sing and for wanting to bring their best always. So if you are free from tonight, because we OPEN TONIGHT!! until Sunday 21st December grab your friends, family whomever and get along, we'd love to see you!

I  love Christmas and I love that I get to share my talents with people at this time. I hope I see you at the show but if not I wish you a very Merry Christmas and blessings for the New Year! I am looking forward to a little time off from Christmas, it will be nice to spend time with family and relax a little preparing to start a new year. I hope you get to enjoy this wonderful season.

Happy Birthday Songs!

So I'm now 31! I can not believe a year has already passed since my 30th and all that was going on at that time. There I was last year thinking "Oh my goodness, I'm in a new age range I've hit 30" and that year has already past. Well, I can say that being in your 30's is not bad actually and if anything I am happy I'm here, yes minus a few things I thought I would have gained in that 30th year but I am happy, healthy and surrounded by those who love me so I am extremely grateful. This years birthday was a lot less flashy than last years (thank goodness because that was a lot of work haha!) but lovely all the same. It began actually on Saturday, my sister Liv had organised a breakfast and surprised me by inviting some of girlfriends to join us. The café we went to was Harvest in Mylor, South Australia. It was really adorable and encourage you to check it out some time. We sat outside in gorgeous weather, under the tress and enjoyed each others company and...

"Oklahoma, where the wind comes sweepin' down the plain"

I can't believe I am sitting here already a week after the opening of Emma Knights Productions Oklahoma! on a Farm and we have finished another fabulous season and I've already jumped into rehearsals for the next couple of things. But I wanted to take a moment to again talk about this show and to say how grateful I am to be able to perform like this. This season of Oklahoma was HOT!! in many ways but also "literally" haha!! The temperatures of the weekend were in the high 30's and Saturday was so humid, but the amazing cast, crew and orchestra pushed through it and the performances was fabulous. And thats not just me saying that but the audiences who came were again raving at how good it was and what I find wonderful is they all sat through it, in the heat themselves but did not complain. There is something about being on the farm, if you have never been to Four Oaks Farm in Littlehampton I encourage you to (even better if it's for a show I'm doing...

Be the Hero of your story....

Well after around 4 months of rehearsal the time has come for us to open "Big Fish" the Musical. Tonight is the Preview before tomorrow Opening Night and I am so excited to share it with audiences and bring the SA Premiere to Adelaide! You may have gathered from other posts that I LOVE this musical and the role that I am playing. Of all the lead roles I have played, this one, Sandra Bloom, is a special one. But I think that has a lot to do with the cast, production team and all those involved with putting this show on. It has been such a wonderful rehearsal period creating something beautiful and for that I feel very blessed. I get to sing some beautiful songs, be a mother and grandmother and have red hair! Plus you don't want to miss my blue Sparkly dress!! If you are trying to decide whether to come to it as you don't know the story or music I encourage you to take a leap and come along. This music had me from the first listen and the story is so full of heart ...
