Last year I pitched a concert idea to Opera Australia to form part of their 70th Anniversary season in Melbourne…a concert celebrating the music from the iconic musicals presented by OA featuring alumni from those shows.
Today the wonderful cast of ENCORE has been announced!
Can’t wait to direct this concert and work with these talented humans in May at the Regent Theatre and perform this wonderful repertoire!

Here are my top 9 images for 2025 (according to Instagram). To me they show a professional year spent celebrating icons, milestone anniversaries and new projects and personally, remembering those who are no longer here. It’s been both a rewarding and tough year. My biggest achievement is that I’m still standing. Special thanks to those who have supported along the way.
Happy New Year!
Bring on 2026
It’s time for the annual Christmas tree trimming photo where the elf is now 21 and tall. This means less trimming for the Santa like grinch in the background.

A great week spent in Melbourne with this talented group of humans presenting @pianomanlive with the @melbournesymphonyorchestra at @artscentremelbourne
Big thanks to all the people behind the scenes who help make the magic happen. Especially the MSO Presents team of Erika Noguchi and Kate Weston.
6,000 happy audience members up singing and dancing is all you can hope for!
