If successful, somebody should turn this into a movie.

I saw Bloom at the Victorian Arts Centre last night. The show written by Tom Gleisner (HYBPA, etc.) and featuring Anne Edmonds. Last night was the show’s final performance and while I am not into musical theatre, this was a really good show even if just to depict, in a sense of dark humour, the grim realities or failures of aged care living.
Fantastic performances from all cast and brilliant staging. As well as scripting the show, Mr Gleisner is also credited with writing the lyrics to the songs.
Hopefully the show gets another run in the future sometime or on tour.

This is massive. Sydney audiences are in for a treat.
Obviously Casey Donovan is rehearsing for her new role in the upcoming Sister Act musical.
Yes.
she will join the & Juliet cast for the final performances of the show’s Sydney tour from June 19. She will replace homegrown star Casey Donovan, who departs the show having nabbed the lead in Sister Act.
Settle previously played Angelique during a run on London’s West End in 2022
She will also be seen in the movie adaptation of Wicked later this year.

“comparable to Sydney and Melbourne’s best” like Parra isn’t part of Sydney
Some would suggest that is correct.
