Hold on, I'm coming....

So a bit of time has passed since my last post, actually I feel like this year is running past! Can you relate??

Well lots has been happening since my last post and I'd love to get you up to speed. At the moment my life is made up of rehearsals, work and baby showers it seems haha!

Big Fish the Musical opens in about 4 weeks and I am loving every minute of that rehearsal process. I am so grateful for the experiences and opportunities I have had this year and this musical is another of those moments. I love the character I am playing (Sandra), the songs I get to sing and all the people I am working with. On April 24th, Andrew Crispe and Myself sang one of our duets from the show at Broadway Sessions. This is a night that happens once a month, kind of like an open mic night, gives performers of all ages and experience the opportunity to sing something out of a the musical theatre genre. It is always a great night and is rather popular so it was great to get the chance to share music from Big Fish and from all accounts it went over very well :)
If you have a chance don't miss seeing this show, you will leave uplifted and with a smile on your face.Season runs from 9th - 18th June. Tickets go on sale on Tuesday 17th May so head to http://therry.org.au/ for more info.

Next week I actually have two other gigs with different groups. The new one that I will be doing is working with the J. D Lord Band. This has been interesting to see become what it is and we are looking forward to singing/playing some great music on Sunday 22nd at Norwood Live. The music is a mix of Tom Jones and Elvis, soulful 70s so I am sure there would be songs you recognise and can sing along to. I am singing backing vocals with my sister Liv and our friend Sophie and we are enjoying stepping back in time a bit. So if you are free, why not come down and hear us! We'd love to have a good showing and share it with you. Details are on the poster below and for more info head to the band facebook page.

 


So above I also mentioned Baby Showers. Well I have had 3 in the past 3 weekends and all for my sisters. So both my sisters Lauren and Liv are pregnant, due within a month of one another and so it was the time for Baby Showers. Liv had two as it is her first child and she has lots of people to invite and some of Lauren's friends in Melbourne put one on for her. It has been lovely to share with them, bake cakes for them and to see their new babies showered with lovely presents. I am looking forward to being an Auntie again!!


Well that just about covers it to here I think.
Hope you have a fabulous month of May, hopefully I'll see you at something I am singing at soon.

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...
