"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!

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 ...

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...
