@Karina_Melbs I was listening to a podcast and a guest said she came to love musicals when she was growing up by listening to…Hamilton. Made me feel so old!

Had to google when MasterChef started as Dyson kept saying he grew up watching it. How old is a show that a retired footballer grew up with? Lol. It started 2009! He is talking like it aired in the 70s! Did he retire in his early 20s? #ImACelebrityAU

@Karina_Melbs @MelbRecital That’s so unlucky, Karina. I feel like this concert would have really cheered your soul as it did mine. Trust you were back at full strength soon and ready to enjoy more wonderful times at the theatre. Happy New Year! 🥳 🎤🌟

@SimonManinChair @MelbRecital How marvellous it sounds. I had to miss yesterday due to having a ferocious cold. So sad to have missed a wonderful afternoon. Happy new year Simon. 🎊🎉🎭🎶🎼🎵
