Paul Kelly - Conversations with Ghosts


Australian singer/songwriter Paul Kelly joins forces with ten performers from the Australian National Academy of Music (ANAM) and the incomparable recorder virtuoso Genevieve Lacey to present the world premiere of an original song cycle, based on the poetry of W.B. Yeats, Lord Alfred Tennyson, Kenneth Slessor, Judith Wright and Les Murray, as well as several new lyrics of his own.

Created by Kelly in collaboration with ANAM’s 2011 resident composer, James Ledger, Conversations With Ghosts is a bittersweet reflection on the nature of mortality and an uplifting memorial to those who have been lost. Presented by One Louder & Artist Voice in association with the Australian National Academy of Music. From Slessor’s incantatory ‘Five Bells’ and Yeats’s ‘Sailing to Byzantium’ to Murray’s ‘Once in a Lifetime Snow’, Conversations With Ghosts pays homage to some of the English language’s greatest wordsmiths, offering a unique and unforgettable evening of music and lyricism.

Legally Blonde The Musical opens at The Star, Sydney




Based on the hit movie of the same name starring Reese Witherspoon, LEGALLY BLONDE is the award-winning London and Broadway sensation created by a top-of-their-class creative team, led by Tony Award-winning director and Olivier Award-nominated choreographer Jerry Mitchell (Hairspray). LEGALLY BLONDE ran for three triumphant years in the West End, over two years on Broadway and is currently on a major UK Tour playing to packed houses.

Winner of seven major awards including the coveted Best New Musical 2011 (Olivier Awards®) this all singing, all dancing romantic comedy is about knowing who you are and showing what you’ve got!

The Australian Premiere of this award-winning Broadway and West End sensation was secured for Sydney with the assistance of the NSW Government through Destination NSW and the City of Sydney.

The Sydney Lyric Theatre is going to be host to the famous musical 'Legally Blonde'.

Legally Blonde The Musical is the hilarious story of college sweetheart and homecoming queen, Elle Woods - a girl who doesn't take no for an answer. When her boyfriend dumps her for someone "serious", Elle puts down the credit card, hits the books and heads for Harvard Law School! Along the way, she proves that being true to yourself never goes out of style.

Legally Blonde The Musical - Winner of Best Musical 2011 Olivier Awards and a smash hit running into its third year on the West End was created by a world-class creative team led by Tony Award-winning director Jerry Mitchell.

Based on the movie starring Reese Witherspoon and remaining true to the script, Legally Blonde the Musical is a feel-good number with a '90s feel.

College sweetheart Elle heads off to law school to win back her boyfriend Warner after he dumps her for someone more serious, only to graduate top of her class and find a far better love interest.
Warner, too, finds the courage to dump family expectations of a career in law and politics and pursue his true calling as a model.

"I've seen it on Broadway and the West End and it's great. It really does do the movie justice," leading actress Lucy Durack says.

"I love the role of Elle. As much as she looks like she hasn't a care in the world, people are unkind to her and judge her and she struggles with that.

"But she takes a positive path and rises above it. She doesn't take the low road, ever. The whole show is a celebration - be who you are, the best version of yourself, and be proud."

'Gangnam Style' South Korean Sensation Psy is Coming to Australia


Brush up on your dance moves and shiny coloured suits — South Korean pop star Psy is bringing 'Gangnam Style' Down Under.

Psy, real name Jai-Sang Park, will arrive in Australia on October 15 to promote his viral global phenomenon, including performances on the Seven Network's Sunrise and The X Factor.

The 34-year-old rapper hit number one on the ARIA charts earlier this week, having already done the same in 33 countries. Going by the mantra "dress classy, dance cheesy", Psy has rocketed his 'Gangnam Style' music video to nearly 350 million streams on YouTube.

Not bad for a novelty song sung mostly in Korean. Psy has his eyes set on world domination, recently signing with Justin Bieber's manager Scooter Braun in the hope of becoming the first true K-Pop crossover singer.
