Australian Premiere Season Now Playing AUSTRALIAN PREMIERE SEASON NOW PLAYING www.beautifulmusical.com.au Facebook: @BeautifulAu | Instagram: @BeautifulAu | Hashtag: #BeautifulinOz CAPTION: LEFT, ESTHER HANNAFORD STARS IN THE AUSTRALIAN PREMIERE SEASON OF BEAUTIFUL: THE CAROLE KING MUSICAL. ABOVE, AS CAROLE KING SEE MORE PORTRAIT IMAGES OF ESTHER HERE SEE MORE PRODUCTION IMAGES HERE CLICK HERE FOR ESTHER’S BIO HEAR ESTHER SING CAROLE KING’S “BEAUTIFUL” HERE ABOUT BEAUTIFUL: THE CAROLE KING MUSICAL The Australian premiere production of Beautiful: The Carole King Musical, starring multi-award winning leading lady Esther Hannaford as Carole King, is now playing. The joyous Broadway hit charts the true story of the legendary singer’s journey from teenage songwriter to international superstar, including her troubled relationship with husband and song-writing partner Gerry Goffin and their close friendship and playful rivalry with fellow song-writing duo Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil. The feel-good song list is jam-packed with timeless hits, including You’ve Got a Friend, Will You Love Me Tomorrow, It’s Too Late, Locomotion, (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman and I Feel the Earth Move, along with chartbusting Mann/Weil tunes such as You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feeling, On Broadway and We Gotta Get Out Of This Place. Long before she was Carole King the chart-topping music legend, she was an ordinary girl with extraordinary talent. She sold her first hit, Will You Love Me Tomorrow, at just 17. By the time she was 20 she was writing number ones for the biggest acts in rock ‘n’ roll, including The Drifters, The Shirelles, Aretha Franklin and The Monkees. But it wasn’t until her personal life began to fall apart that she finally managed to find her own voice and step into the spotlight – with music that would become the soundtrack of a generation. Joining Esther Hannaford in the Australian cast are Green Room Award winner Josh Piterman as ‘Gerry Goffin’, accomplished musical theatre star Lucy Maunder as 'Cynthia Weil', singer songwriter and The Voice favourite Mat Verevis as 'Barry Mann' plus stage veterans Mike McLeish as 'Don Kirshner' and Anne Wood as King’s mother, 'Genie Klein'. The cast also includes Jason Arrow, Stefanie Caccamo, Doron Chester, Barry Conrad, Andrew Cook, Marcus Corowa, Julia Dray, Akina Edmonds, Nana Matapule, Cameron MacDonald, Lorinda Merrypor, Joseph Naim, Ruva Ngwenya, Naomi Price, Rebecca Selley, Sean Sinclair, Angelina Thomson and Chloé Zuel.

  • 1 Dear Senators, My Name Is Jane Longhurst
    The Legal and Constitutional References Committee – Impact of the 2014 and 2015 Commonwealth Budget Decisions on the Arts Dear Senators, My name is Jane Longhurst; I am 49 years old and an established, professional actor of twenty-five years standing based in Hobart, Tasmania. Since graduating from Victorian College of the Arts I have performed in some of Australia’s best loved television series (including Blue Heelers, GP, Janus, A Country Practice) and have worked with some of our iconic performing arts companies such as HotHouse Theatre and Flying Fruit Fly Circus both based in Albury Wodonga. I have performed Shakespeare outdoors, create original performance work, work as a voice artist and help develop dozens of new Australian plays. In short, I’m a jobbing actor in Australia. I write to express my outrage and astonishment at the recent appropriation of $104.8 million from the Australia Council budget to establish a new arts funding program to be administered at the discretion of the Minister for the Arts, Senator George Brandis. My outrage is based on the lack of sector consultation that preceded this decision; my astonishment is that yet again, the arts community is being forced to justify its existence and squabble over further depleted funds through the Australia Council. My letter will address the Terms of Reference: (a) the impact of the 2014-2015 Commonwealth Budget decisions on the arts with particular focus on: (A) the small to medium sector and (B) individual artists. As reported recently (www.crikey.com.au, 15 June 2015), ‘…the proposed funding cuts to the Australia Council announced in the May budget equate to 28% of the federal arts funding body’s discretionary funding’.

  • Sarah Mills Bacha 614.563.1066 Andrew Lloyd Webber's
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 22, 2018 Contact: Sarah Mills Bacha 614.563.1066 Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Aspects of Love at CATCO May 30-June 17 Chamber musical by one of musical theatre’s legends explores the many forms of love Love takes many forms – love between couples; romantic infatuation; the devotion of married people; and the ties of children to their parents. This chamber musical, written by one of contemporary musical theatre’s icons, Andrew Lloyd Webber, who gave us beloved classics, such as Phantom of the Opera and Evita, examines all of them. “Love Changes Everything” is the theme song of this musical first produced in 1989 in London and based upon a 1955 novella written by David Garnett, and “nothing in the world will ever be the same.” Aspects of Love, with book and music by Webber and lyrics by Don Black and Charles Hart, is presented through special arrangement with R&H Theatricals: www.rnh.com “Aspects of Love is one of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s lesser known works because it was produced after his blockbuster works of the 1970s and 1980s, but it is no less memorable with beautiful romantic lyrics and music, hallmarks of Webber musicals,” said Steven C. Anderson, CATCO producing director, who will direct CATCO’s chamber production. “If you loved the music of Phantom of the Opera, Cats and Evita and other works by Webber, you won’t want to miss CATCO’s presentation of Aspects of Love,” Anderson, said. CATCO will perform Aspects of Love, May 30-June 17, 2018, in the Studio One Theatre at the Vern Riffe Center, 77 S.

The MTC, which also won a dance award for its co­production with Chunky Move, tied with Opera Australia to be the two most successful companies with 10 gongs each.
