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.

A Dream is a wish your heart makes....

A dream is a wish you heart makes... Do you have a dream? something that you want your life to be? or somewhere you want to go? Are you reaching for it? I have had a dream to be a Mary Kay Director since I joined the company 10 years ago and this month I took a huge step to achieving this. On October 1st I entered into DIQ or Director in Qualification, I now have 4 months to become a Director. I am very excited about this, the timing seemed right and when I do it I will be able to do just Mary Kay and Singing which will be perfect! It is rather scary though because there is a lot of work to be done in those four months, I have to build my team and reach certain production goals and sometimes it seems crazy, but that's the idea of moving up isn't it? taking a leap of faith? So why Directorship you ask? I understand leadership is not for everyone but I have always been drawn to it. I do have a passion for helping women feel good about themselves and I believe that we are...

MMMBop and road trip classics 😉

Road trip singalongs are the best! Do you agree?  What are your favourite songs to sing? Do you have specific lists or eras or styles of music you listen/sing to?  For me it usually depends who I am travelling with but nothing beats a good 80s/90s song list.... So last weekend I was on a road trip to Halls Gap with my sister, my brother in law and my niece and nephew. We had a fabulous time singing away the hours to many a favourite. Of course the kids occasionally asked for a song they knew but we thought it was important we listened to the classics haha 😜 We headed to Halls Gap for NanaFest 2019! A weekend to celebrate the 90th Birthday of my Nana Dawn. Staying in cabins and tents the family came from Victoria and SA and shared a weekend of catching up, a party, jumping pillows and bonfires. I do love my family, there is a a lot of us and it is lovely to see the all the generations interacting and enjoying each others company. We had wonderful weather and m...

"Oh what a Beautiful Morning, Oh what a Beautiful Day...."

"Oh what a Beautiful Morning, Oh what a Beautiful Day......" Well actually its been a beautiful week! I did have the absolute privilege to play Laurey in Oklahoma! presented live on Four Oaks Farm in Littlehampton SA. It was such a beautiful setting to be in everyday, trees, fresh air, animals in the paddocks around and one rather show stealing peacock!! The cast was fabulous, the orchestra amazing and the sound superb (Tim Freedman, Allpro Audio  love your work!!). At the risk of sounding cheesy it was a magical experience. From the moment that Curly rides along the ridge on his horse (an actual horse!) singing "Oh what a Beautiful Morning" people were captivated. It was such a labour of love for all of us, and to see the joy in people's faces was so wonderful. This production was the idea of Emma Knights from Emma Knights Productions and along with some other wonderful people who captured the vision of it all as well, it actua...
