A Cowboy Christmas??

Hi Y'all!! (please read this blog in a southern drawl LOL!)

I am in the throws of Production week and its a little crazy but exciting! Opening Saturday night, Soul Factor (along with some friends) are presenting For Unto Y'all - A Cowboy Christmas! This is a fabulous musical about the Christmas story but told in a different way, set in 1888 in the little town of Bethlehem in the Wyoming Territory in the Old West.
"In this unconventional telling of the ageless story of Jesus' birth, old Doc Trotter introduces the angel Gabriel, a six-gun totin' masked man dressed in white, as Gabriel tells Mary and Joseph the good news. We follow the exploits of the “Three Wise Men” Frobisham (pompous Englishman), Prescott (brash New York journalist), Professor Von Metzenbaum (German astronomer) and their housekeeper Irish Kate as they travel through the hostile territory to arrive at Bethlehem to meet the new baby King. They also come across Governor Tyree - cousin of the leader of the worst outlaw gang in the land… it runs in the family, except he steals from behind a desk. Arriving in Bethlehem Mary and Joseph meet Gracie the Saloon Ma’am, who heads them towards the livery stable. The shepherds become a rowdy bunch of lonesome cowboys working their herd on the prairie and the angels become a heavenly posse, and they all end up in the livery stable."

This musical is a hilarious show, we the cast are having a ball and look forward to sharing it with you. I am playing Irish Kate and this is a different role for me but a lot of fun.
So am I going to see you there?? It is extremely kid friendly (we had some children there last night at rehearsal and they laughed a lot not to mention kept their eyes on the guns of the cowboys) and a great time for all the family. Also we would love to see you dress up! So grab your hat, strap on your six guns and saddle your stick horses, this is going to be a fun ride!!

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 ...

How it Ends....

Usually with tears haha!! Sadly all good things do have to come to an end and on Saturday evening the season of "Big Fish" The Musical had its last bow. But what an amazing time it was! Often you'll get to the end of doing a show (which has taken months of your life up) and think "it's been great but be glad to finish", Big Fish was not like that at all. I have been blessed to do some fabulous shows, with great people and of course when your passion is performing and you get to do it everyday, you don't want to let it go. But from the first rehearsal, we all knew we had something special. The musical itself is a magical journey filled with colour, joy and mythical characters entwined with real life and love, the music although sometimes called unmemorable is just beautiful and not only am I not over it, I can't seem to stop listening to it! Our orchestra was so amazing with the difficult score, and the backstage & technical crew were phenomena...

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...
