"Thankyou one and all"

Grateful!

That is the word for how I am feeling. I have just finished a absolutely fabulous "SOLD OUT" season of Legally Blonde the Musical and I can not be more grateful for the opportunity. I truly love performing and when you get the chance to do it night after night with amazing talented people, in a show that you love it becomes a blessing.
I have enjoyed playing a character different to myself. Vivienne although at the beginning a bitch, she is able to redeem herself and become a better, stronger person. I loved my wig (although still don't know about actually cutting my hair off!) and will miss becoming Viv each night.

To the talented cast and crew, thankyou for sharing your gifts with all of us. These beautiful were so much fun to be around and aside from the laughs were fabulous at what they did. The audiences reactions and comments showed what a fantastic job everyone did and that also goes for the orchestra (you guys are the backbone) and the tech crews as this was a huge job!

I have made some fabulous new friends and had a ball with those already close to my heart. Will definitely cherish the memories of this.

I thank God that he provides me opportunities to use my gifts and to share with others.

Now to the next one!

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 ...

Music for Mums!

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. It should be a lovely time and the first time Mum & Dad have seen my sisters house. (For Liv and I, its the 3rd time there in less than 6 months!) 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...
