Free concerts are held at Homebush Bay every Friday night in February. It’s a great evening, sitting on a grassed area and we take food to share. We decided not to go last week because the weather forecast was for storms and rain, which is a shame because I would have liked to see Cate Cebrano and her Jazz Band. Last night was music from Broadway and the West End.

Being a fan of musicals, I was looking forward to going. Again the weather didn’t look too good, but we went anyway. We had hoped to meet a couple of friends there, but it seems they were scared off by the weather again.There was a small orchestra playing the music, and two singers (one male and one female), four dancers and 3 backing singers.

They sang songs from Hair, Man of La Mancha, Fiddler on the Roof, Jeckyl and Hyde, Chicago, A Chorus Line, Phantom of the Opera, Les Miserables, Miss Saigon, Chess, Grease, and Hairspray….just to name those I can think of off the top of my head. Many of my favourite songs from musicals were sung, so I had a fantastic time.

 They also sang an encore, Time Warp from the Rocky Horror Picture Show. Lots of people were doing the movements that go with that song, and towards the end I got a huge kick from Bugalugs which caused me to jump. I never get kicked so much that I jump, and the kick was at quite an appropriate time in the song! It sent both Andrew and I into a laughing fit. This baby has a musical ear already! 😀
