Story of My Life

So if you are a performer in Adelaide at this time of year, you tend to be getting a little bit busy, well actually that could be if you are in Adelaide during Feb/Mar you are about to get busy. That might be a generalisation but with the Adelaide Fringe, the Adelaide Festival, Adelaide 500, Womadelaide just to name a few, there is a lot going on!

So being busy is kind of the "story of my life" but this year has had an exceptionally busy one! I finished January with "Shrek the Musical" and that was really such a fun show! I talked about it in my last post as we had got through the first weekend, 40 degree heat and all. We did make it through the final weekend with 40 degree heat but great success. The audiences loved it and we all got great reviews. I do miss it, Fiona was such a great character to play and I really enjoyed working with everyone.



I went straight out of that into SideShow the Musical with Hills Musical Company, where I am playing one of the Hilton Twins, Violet. Such a different musical to the two I have already done this year 😆 but it is a wonderful story based on true life and there is some awesome music. Performance for that is end of April - Start of May so a little while a way but we are rehearsing and Earlybird tickets are onsale now!

But what is coming up is Fringe and for that I am in 3 different shows! The beauty of the Adelaide Fringe is that there is such diversity of shows and experiences. My 3 shows are:

"A Gospel Shot" 

This show is presented by Soul Factor Gospel Choir and will be a wonderful 90 minutes of many styles of Gospel Music. Soul Factor concerts are always high energy and full of beautiful music. Fun and entertainment for all ages. So don't miss it. 2 Shows on the 24th Feb 2018, 3pm and 8pm.
Book tickets Here


"Pirates of Penzance" on the Popeye



For the last 4 years this wonderful show has sold out at the Adelaide Fringe and we are back for a 5th year. Fun and immersive, this show will have you laughing and singing along while enjoying beautiful views on the river. 
There is also a special Auslan translated performance for those who are hearing impaired at the National Wine Centre on February 19th. 
So grab your mates and book your tickets as its already on its way to another sell out!

"More than a Woman"


And finally a show with my SISTERS!! This show is about the BEE GEEs through the eyes of their sister. We Raymond Sisters are singing the music and what fun it is. So good to be singing together again but also this music is just so iconic and fun, we would love to see you there!

It is for ONE NIGHT ONLY! Wednesday March 7, 2018 at 7:30pm at the National Wine Centre, Adelaide. Get your tickets here!


Plus......

My Mary Kay Director Debut is this coming Friday!! I am so looking forward to getting underway as a Director, this was a dream that I had been working towards and it seems everything comes at once haha! But I am so grateful to God for all the opportunities I have to share with people through music and makeup and for all those who support me in that. 


So with all this going on, I am starting to get a little crazy at times so I know I need to take moments for myself and recharge (I am working on that!). 
I hope you have a wonderful week and look forward to seeing you at some of the shows!

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...

Turkish and Other Delights! Part Two...

And so the story of the trip continues here Part One can be found here ! So we arrived in Istanbul on Tuesday 21st April 2015 and as I said in the previous post we were struck by how many people there were and how crazy the driving was but luckily we were picked up by our tour company, Travelshop Turkey. We did make it to our hotel, The Green Park Hotel, safely and this hotel seemed quite nice. We did find it weird we didnt know anything about our start time in the morning or anything else from our tour but the guy at the desk did say that they were rather unorganised and not to worry, he'd let us know. Dancers on the boat Our first experience began that night began with a Bosphorus River and Dinner Cruise (to be honest we didn't quite know what to expect), people had said that it was great to cruise on the Bosphorus and see Istanbul from the water. Well we got picked up along with some others we didn't know and headed to our boat. Well this night was an experience!...

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...
