So Boy from Oz is back for a summer season. We got tickets to tonight’s performance when it was supposed to be the last show (only they extended the season).
It was the same cast as last time except for Alex Rathgeber replacing David Harris as Greg.
Our seats were in the middle of the second front row – brilliant seats. (and Todd tends to pick on the people in the front row – in this case the people sitting directly in front of us.)
This is one of my favourite musicals – Todd McKenney is brilliant in the Peter Allen role and sings & dances up a storm.
The whole cast is brilliant. One of the O’Leary brothers (the older one) played the young Peter.
After the bows Todd announced that the cast would be in the foyers collecting for the Queensland Flood Relief & that so far they’d raised close to $100,000.
Fern Belling (Liza Minnelli) was collecting outside our door – she’s really tiny in real life (and gorgeous) and happily posed for photos with anyone who made a donation.
