Time Stopped, like a photograph....

If only time would stop!! February already, what happened to January??

So maybe you aren't shocked at how fast this year is going and maybe I shouldn't be either as it seems I have been saying how fast time flies by for years! But anyway I said it again haha! 

I gather it is because of the amount of things happening and for that I am grateful. This time of year is usually choc-a-block full especially in Adelaide. IF you are not from here well, here's a couple of things that our city has on in the next month or so

  • Fringe Festival
  • Adelaide Festival
  • Clipsal 500
  • Womadelaide
  • Masters Games
Just to name a few! It is a crazy time of nights out, food & drink, traffic restrictions and people everywhere and for us performers its a great time to perform and attend some fabulous shows.

This year I am performing in a different piece of work, 35mm: A Musical Exhibition. Which is part photographic exhibition, part concert that is immersive allowing the audience to explore why we take photographs, what is being captured and the stories behind them. 

Emma Knights Productions is putting this on (I have worked with her alot, wonderful immersive events!) and it is very different to what I have done before. To be honest it is a challenge, technically, as the music is an amazing array of harmonies and parts but it is sounding fantastic and together with the visuals it should be quite an experience. Also set in the stunning Cathedral Room of the Adelaide Oval, it will be like being in a photo yourself!

Performances are on as follows:

Thursday March 9th at 6pm
Friday March 10th at 5.30pm and 9.30pm
Saturday March 11th at 9pm

Tickets are available here 


I look forward to seeing what audiences think.




From the 19th of February, rehearsals start for the Musical AIDA with Hills Musical Company. I am excited to be playing the role of Aida and getting into it all. Its such great music and story and if you haven't heard it I encourage you to go online to hear it or come along haha!!
The Music is by Sir Elton John and Lyrics by Sir Tim Rice (so should be ok 😂). Earlybird tickets are on sale so if you are interested book now!

Well that's all for today! Have a fabulous rest of the week.

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...

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 ...

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...
