What a pleasure and relief it has been to wake up to cooler mornings these past two days, after the weekend I did wonder whether I would ever be cool again!! Performing through 40 degree days is hot work!
How did you cope with the weekend?
So I have been rather busy this year already. Oklahoma on a Farm was another success, for its third year and took up my first week of Jan. Again it was a pleasure to work up on the Four Oaks Farm in Littlehampton, with a great bunch of people to full crowds. We finished on the 8th of Jan and on the 9th rehearsals started for the SA Premiere of "Shrek the Musical" with Adelaide Youth Theatre.
Eight days rehearsal is really all we had before we moved into the theatre to perform this hilarious and fantastic musical. You might be thinking "are you serious??" and I can totally understand that, but yes I am. We would rehearse for around 7 hours a day and we have 2 casts so there was quite a few people around. But this is a talented bunch of people and I have thoroughly enjoyed myself.
I think the fact that I was getting to do what I love everyday, creating, working with great people and making new friends really does energise me.
My cast is the Duloc Cast and I just think they are great! As Princess Fiona, I spend most of my time with Shrek, played by my friend Ray Cullen, and Donkey, played by Jack Conroy. The three of us get on really well and it has been a lot of fun recreating moments from the film and creating our own. And that is complemented by a fantastic bunch of fairytale creatures and of course the bad guy, Lord Farquaad. For me, Fiona, is such a fun, sassy, independent girl but also vulnerable and a bit of a dag. I love the music and just am having a ball playing her. Even in the crazy heat, where everyone is melting and sharing a little too much sweat!
There are still some opportunities to see me in this fabulous show (and it is truly for EVERYONE!!)

Also last week, because there wasn't enough in last week. My sisters and I sang at the Fringe Media Breakfast showcasing a couple of songs from our Fringe Show "More than a Woman" which is on March 7th at the National Wine Centre, Adelaide. It is a Bee Gee's tribute and should be a fantastic night!
Then on Saturday Night, I was back with the J.D Lord Band at The Gov with the "Big Soul" show, which went so well and people were up dancing second song. Then Sunday, rehearsals for SideShow began. That's my next musical! I will chat about that later.....
So I have been crazy busy but i am loving the opportunities!!
Hopefully I will see you at Shrek or one of the Fringe shows!
Have a fantastic week x
