Story of My Life

So if you are a performer in Adelaide at this time of year, you tend to be getting a little bit busy, well actually that could be if you are in Adelaide during Feb/Mar you are about to get busy. That might be a generalisation but with the Adelaide Fringe, the Adelaide Festival, Adelaide 500, Womadelaide just to name a few, there is a lot going on!

So being busy is kind of the "story of my life" but this year has had an exceptionally busy one! I finished January with "Shrek the Musical" and that was really such a fun show! I talked about it in my last post as we had got through the first weekend, 40 degree heat and all. We did make it through the final weekend with 40 degree heat but great success. The audiences loved it and we all got great reviews. I do miss it, Fiona was such a great character to play and I really enjoyed working with everyone.



I went straight out of that into SideShow the Musical with Hills Musical Company, where I am playing one of the Hilton Twins, Violet. Such a different musical to the two I have already done this year 😆 but it is a wonderful story based on true life and there is some awesome music. Performance for that is end of April - Start of May so a little while a way but we are rehearsing and Earlybird tickets are onsale now!

But what is coming up is Fringe and for that I am in 3 different shows! The beauty of the Adelaide Fringe is that there is such diversity of shows and experiences. My 3 shows are:

"A Gospel Shot" 

This show is presented by Soul Factor Gospel Choir and will be a wonderful 90 minutes of many styles of Gospel Music. Soul Factor concerts are always high energy and full of beautiful music. Fun and entertainment for all ages. So don't miss it. 2 Shows on the 24th Feb 2018, 3pm and 8pm.
Book tickets Here


"Pirates of Penzance" on the Popeye



For the last 4 years this wonderful show has sold out at the Adelaide Fringe and we are back for a 5th year. Fun and immersive, this show will have you laughing and singing along while enjoying beautiful views on the river. 
There is also a special Auslan translated performance for those who are hearing impaired at the National Wine Centre on February 19th. 
So grab your mates and book your tickets as its already on its way to another sell out!

"More than a Woman"


And finally a show with my SISTERS!! This show is about the BEE GEEs through the eyes of their sister. We Raymond Sisters are singing the music and what fun it is. So good to be singing together again but also this music is just so iconic and fun, we would love to see you there!

It is for ONE NIGHT ONLY! Wednesday March 7, 2018 at 7:30pm at the National Wine Centre, Adelaide. Get your tickets here!


Plus......

My Mary Kay Director Debut is this coming Friday!! I am so looking forward to getting underway as a Director, this was a dream that I had been working towards and it seems everything comes at once haha! But I am so grateful to God for all the opportunities I have to share with people through music and makeup and for all those who support me in that. 


So with all this going on, I am starting to get a little crazy at times so I know I need to take moments for myself and recharge (I am working on that!). 
I hope you have a wonderful week and look forward to seeing you at some of the shows!

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 ...

Well I haven't written for a while, sorry about that! I have been so busy with trying to do assignments, work, rehearse, sing, teach its been crazy!!! anyway so Mother's Day is this weekend. The day when we celebrate the wonderful women in our lives who do so much for us and loves us tremendously. So what are you doing for your Mum this year? Flowers? Chocolates? Promises you don't intend to keep? (line from Beauty & the Beast hehe!!) Spa Treatment? Lunch cooked by you? Movies? I'd love to hear some of your ideas. This year, as it will be a tough one, the first without Alex, we are all flying to Tassie to be with my sister and her husband away from home.

Of course, as we are there we, The Raymond Sisters, have been booked to sing at the Red Shield Festival Saturday at the Bellerive Boardwalk. We are doing a 30m...

2018 Celebration!!

2018 has really been an amazing year.  When I look back on what I've actually done this year it is actually quite crazy but I've enjoyed every minute of it.  There have been times of difficulty and real stress when things didn't go to plan but God has blessed me so abundantly and really allowed me to use my gifts to share with people and to create a life that is really full of joy. So at the beginning of this year, I actually said I was gonna have a quieter year and that turned out to not be true in the slightest. But it has been amazing!  So this year, I have done Oklahoma on a Farm twice, played Princess Fiona in an SA Premiere of Shrek (plus learned to tap dance), done a Bee Gee's Tribute with my sisters, climbed aboard a Pirate Ship many times, been a Siamese Twin in SideShow the Musical, been an Ice & Fire Queen, learnt and performed many Elvis songs, sang on a Cruise Ship,  sang on the radio 4 times, perfomed in concerts, gigs, dinne...
