A world of music visits Bendigo

THE World of Musicals concert stops off at the Ulumbarra Theatre this Sunday, May 19 as part of its 2024 Australian tour.

The show features an international cast of multi-talented artists who perform classic hits, ballads, big-screen anthems and iconic show tunes showcasing the best of Broadway and West End songs.

“All the hit songs in one show”, as the event is billed, includes material from The Phantom of the Opera, Les Miserables, We Will Rock You, Sister Act and more.

The World of Musicals, regarded as a stepping stone for musical and theatre talent, was last in Australia in 2022.

The 2024 cast includes new performers from the United Kingdom, Ireland and Australia, along with members from past Australian and New Zealand shows, many of whom are established theatre, opera and television artists from various international musical circuits.

The lead performer for this tour is Ciaran Olohan, a singer and musician from County Wicklow in Ireland.

He trained under Philip O’Reilly at the Royal Irish Academy of Music in Dublin and has performed around the world, including the United States, Canada, Australia, China, Germany, Spain, Norway and the UK.

Mr Olohan’s credits include productions such as Celtic Nights, The World of Musicals and more. He recorded his debut solo album, Wicklow My Home, in 2018.

The show is aimed at families, and ends with a final medley of showbusiness classics.

Tickets can be bought through the website, theworldofmusicals.com, or by phoning 5434 6100.
