Merry Christmas and lots happening in the New Year!


It is almost Christmas and I hope that you are enjoying this wonderful festive season. Do you have traditions that you love to stick to when you celebrate? Do you get time to enjoy the family time, the catch ups etc or are you just always rushing around? 
I have been very busy up until this weekend and I am enjoying the chance to slow down a bit, well at least for the new couple of days 😅
Next year is already quite packed and there is still some things to do this year, including finishing Qualification for Directorship with Mary Kay (only one person to go!) and then I am singing at the Cricket NYE but then things get really underway first week of the new year!

Anyway I thought I'd let you know about what's going on next year, in case you need some last minute Christmas Gift ideas 😉
2018 is going to be a great year and I am so looking forward to sharing so many different things next year!


So Starting off with Oklahoma! on a Farm January 5-7 with Emma Knights Productions. This will be our 3rd year and continues to be an absolute delight so don't miss it! 

Still in January I head straight into Shrek the Musical as Princess Fiona with Adelaide Youth Theatre. This runs from January 19th - 27th. This is a double cast so Shows that I am in are 
Friday 19th at 1:30pm
Saturday 20th at 2pm 
Friday 26th at 2pm
Saturday 27th at 7pm
Can't wait to have some fun with that!



On the 20th January I will be back with the The J.D. Lord Band at the Gov for J D Lord Band presents BIG SOUL. Will be a great night of 60s/70's hits!
Then its Fringe Time, so first its Soul Factor Gospel Choir's Gospel Cabaret A Gospel Shot. Don't miss this chance to hear many varying styles sung by one of Adelaide's leading Gospel Choirs. 
Also in the Fringe Pirates Of Penzance on the Popeye! This is this wonderful show's 5th year!! If you haven't seen it, you must. Fun and frivolity on one of SA's tourist attractions. 
Then The Raymond Sisters are together again!!  and we are doing a fringe show More Than A Woman. A show about the Bee Gees, so the music should be fab! We would love to see you there and are so looking forward to singing together. 

And if that isn't enough then from the 20th April - 5 May I will be playing, Violet, one of the Siamese Twins in the musical SideShow with Hills Musical Company. Tickets aren't onsale yet but I thought I'd give you a heads up! So I think I will stop there for this post! So many interesting things to do, I really hope to see you at some of them!



Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and may the love and joy of the season be yours x

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...

Happy Birthday Songs!

So I'm now 31! I can not believe a year has already passed since my 30th and all that was going on at that time. There I was last year thinking "Oh my goodness, I'm in a new age range I've hit 30" and that year has already past. Well, I can say that being in your 30's is not bad actually and if anything I am happy I'm here, yes minus a few things I thought I would have gained in that 30th year but I am happy, healthy and surrounded by those who love me so I am extremely grateful. This years birthday was a lot less flashy than last years (thank goodness because that was a lot of work haha!) but lovely all the same. It began actually on Saturday, my sister Liv had organised a breakfast and surprised me by inviting some of girlfriends to join us. The café we went to was Harvest in Mylor, South Australia. It was really adorable and encourage you to check it out some time. We sat outside in gorgeous weather, under the tress and enjoyed each others company and...
