"My hair, flow it, show it..."

Yes this blog is titled with a line from the song "Hair" , not a song I sing often and funnily enough the song talks about the opposite to what I've done because I have cut OFF my hair!!! Yes this is the most crazy thing I've done in the past week and a half haha!! No really it has been 10 years since I last gave my hair a really good cut up to a bob. I am very happy with it and can't believe how much lighter it is (I did cut off over 20cms so considerably different!). 


So anyway, I hope this finds you well and can't believe its already half way through March. In Adelaide we call it Mad March because we have so many festivals and events happening in the city and surrounds but it is a great time of the year. The end of February for me was finishing up the Fringe show I did "Pirates of Penzance on the Popeye". We had a fabulous time, the audiences loved it and although it was extremely hot weather to work in, we didn't melt!

So what's next?  Well Easter is coming in a couple of weeks and so Soul Factor Gospel Choir are putting on their Easter concert "Were it not for Grace" the week before. This year it is on Sunday 29th March at 7:30pm and will be a wonderful night of music. The songs are some of our favourite Easter pieces along with new ones linked with prose and so it will take you through the story of Easter via music.
I really encourage you to come along if you can, you will not be dissappointed.

So besides getting ready for the concert I am also getting ready for my trip overseas!! Yes after Easter myself, Dad and Mum are heading to France, then London and then Turkey. Yesterday I recieved my passes to the Gallipoli Centenary Dawn Service and Lone Pine Service for Anzac Day. Its getting pretty exciting and starting to become real. I feel so blessed to have the opportunity to travel but then to be there at the place that so many gave their lives so that I can live in this amazing country. We will be also heading along the Western Front in France so that we can experience that part as well, so it will very moving I believe. I do love travelling and I think some of the most exciting parts is the getting ready and planning, not so much the paying haha!! but it should be a great trip.

So that caps off some interesting weeks and highlights the coming weeks! I was laughing with friends as so far this year I have gotten a tattoo and cut off my hair and its only March!! What else is going to happen??

Have a great week!

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 ...
