I’ve just wrapped up an incredible run with PACA Productions Sydney performing in Footloose The Musical, and what a journey it was! I was called in last minute to take on the Bass Chair, and it turned out to be one of the most rewarding musical theatre experiences I’ve had so far. The score itself was an absolute joy to play, full of energy, groove, and so many memorable tunes that made every performance a thrill.

One of the highlights was rehearsing at NIDA in Kensington, an inspiring environment that really elevated the process. The band I worked with were not only exceptional musicians but also supportive colleagues who made the entire run a true pleasure.

On a personal level, this production stretched me in all the right ways. My sight-reading skills improved immensely, and I learned so much about adaptability and trusting my musical instincts.

I’m truly grateful to have been part of this show, and I look forward to crossing paths with many of you at the musical theatre stage door again soon.
