The cast of Dusty The Original Pop Diva gather at the Sunnybank Theatre.
Here they are doing their vocal warm ups, Musical Director June Gemmell is putting them through the mill. Director Leonie Walsh (right) looks on.
I’ve got two fat books of piano music! It starts now, a couple of months being repetiteur, or “note basher” as June calls it. The music’s great and I’m so up for it! The band will join us in a month or so. The show runs for 3 weeks in November. More from me later!
Joanna is British Australian. Her early career was in financial news in London. That ended in 2008. Joanna moved to Sabah, her parents’ birthplace, where she wrote a blog about musicians, which became a book. Joanna came to Australia in 2012 and started this blog — her second. These days, she writes mostly about music, her garden, and trips to Sabah. Oh, and Wookie the Havanese.
