Little Crazy

Finally I am getting a chance to write this!! meant to do it end of October but things just got a little crazy!


So so much has been going on and I've even had a birthday since my last post. So i wanted to fill you in as some exciting things are happening. October was a great month, filled with all the things I love. Makeup doing, birthdays, catch ups and concerts. Soul Factor was back doing their concerts and we had an absolute ball! Full crowds, great music, costumes and fun. Its been a few years since we did a Broadway Concert and it was such a pleasure to get back to it and the audiences loved it too.


Later in the month I sang at the Hills Choral Society Concert. It was a songs of Stage & Screen concert so it was lovely to sing some favourites. My solos were I Dreamed a Dream, When She Loved Me, Colours of the Wind and Buenos Aires and then I joined the choir for the Phantom of the Opera Medley. It was a lovely afternoon of music.



The 29th was my birthday and I had a lovely day celebrating with family and friends and then finishing the day singing at Broadway Sessions with some of my besties which was great fun! So now I am a year older and am excited for what is coming in this year! I believe its going to be my best yet!

I finished October off madly doing Mary Kay. DIQ is still happening and I so want to be a Director. I love sharing this business and the products, and building an amazing team of wonderful people that inspire me.
November is my 3rd month of DIQ and so its still full steam ahead. On Nov 8th my personal Mary Kay website went live and for that I am so excited. Connect with me, order from me and more all through the website www.marykay.com.au/rebeccaraymond . I'd love to connect with you so go check it out and if I can help you with anything please let me know.

November is shaping up to be a real mix of music and Mary Kay. I have a few new gigs this month which should be a lot of fun and I am excited to do plus i have weddings and Christmas Mary Kay makeup events and I am booking in lots of things for next year!!
So far I have 7 shows booked in for next year already 😅 I am excited because there is so much new and fantastic music plus the chance to create roles not done here before and to revisit roles I love. And aside from musicals the chance to share some wonderful music through other events. I am so happy and grateful that I get to follow my passion both for music and for makeup. I feel very blessed and I look forward to sharing all these with you.

But before we get to next year, this year has to end and Christmas is coming. Soul Factor's Christmas Concert is coming up and along with some wonderful Christmas music the second half of the concert will be a stand up musical called Searching for a King. You will be uplifted, moved and entertained but most of all you will begin your Christmas Season well. Tickets are on sale now at http://www.soulfactorgospelchoir.com/ and I would love to see you there!



Well I wish you well until my next post! Have a fabulous 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 ...

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...
