Brisbane! Who knew? Filled a 600-seat theater at the Queensland Conservatorium with raving musical theatre nerds of all stripes, and they had themselves a party. A fantastic crowd, another really good piano (though my heart still belongs to Perth), and Rachael just blew the roof off with “One More Thing Than I Can Handle.” What a stahhh.
The set list would have been the same as Melbourne and Sydney, but the audience kept screaming once we were done and would only be soothed by a second encore, so I pulled out a chestnut from Urban Cowboy, which seemed to sate their animal appetites.

You know how to make a composer feel welcome, Brisbane. I’ll be back for more of that, I can assure you! Masterclasses in Mackay, Sydney & Adelaide, and then the final concert of the tour in Adelaide on Wednesday night. (Home stretch!)

The Brisbane concert was amazing! ‘Caravan of Angels’ was the highlight, it was lots of fun to sing along.
I can’t believe I didn’t bring my Parade CD to get signed!!
You deserved all your encores and more – you are so hard working on that stage! A fantastic night. We were privileged to have you.
What a show! WOW. I was so happy to be there because I missed your concert in Germany. So I booked this one and was blown away. You are so amazing just sitting at your piano and playing it … WOOOW. And Rachael was really nice. I didn’t know her before but now she’s in my mind. . . hehe. Thx for that fantastic evening. It was just perfect!!
cheers

Excellent show! Keep it up! Would love to see the live performance in New York this April 28th.
Yay Perth! We’ll keep your heart safe in that ol’ piano til you return someday (sooner rather than later, we hope!). Thank you for an absolutely remarkable, unforgettable evening.
And thank you so so soooooooo much for your incredibly stimulating masterclass!
