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!

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...

"Oklahoma, where the wind comes sweepin' down the plain"

I can't believe I am sitting here already a week after the opening of Emma Knights Productions Oklahoma! on a Farm and we have finished another fabulous season and I've already jumped into rehearsals for the next couple of things. But I wanted to take a moment to again talk about this show and to say how grateful I am to be able to perform like this. This season of Oklahoma was HOT!! in many ways but also "literally" haha!! The temperatures of the weekend were in the high 30's and Saturday was so humid, but the amazing cast, crew and orchestra pushed through it and the performances was fabulous. And thats not just me saying that but the audiences who came were again raving at how good it was and what I find wonderful is they all sat through it, in the heat themselves but did not complain. There is something about being on the farm, if you have never been to Four Oaks Farm in Littlehampton I encourage you to (even better if it's for a show I'm doing...

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!...
