BENDIGO TO BROADWAY Set for Queensland Cabaret Festival, 6/11
Multi-Award winning artist Bradley McCaw brings the world premiere of 'Bendigo to Broadway' to the Queensland Cabaret Festival on June 11th.
Part rock concert, part cabaret and featuring a live ten piece band, Bendigo to Broadway finds Bradley McCaw sitting backstage after a sold out performance on Broadway's 42nd street, wondering how on earth he had gotten there!?
Returning from sell out season at the 2014 Wonderland Festival, join Bradley as he retraces the steps of his international performing career, song by song. Beginning in his home town as a young 'wannabe lawyer,' before going on to establish himself as a regular on the Queensland musical theatre scene with acclaimed performances in Rent and Les Miserables. Then after touring internationally with 'The Ten Tenors' and writing his own musicals Becoming Bill and The Oasis, he won the 2013 International Cabaret showcase and travelled to Broadway's 42nd Street with a sold-out performance of Cabaret: The Complete Unauthorised Biography.
Helping him tell the tale are award winning country artist Megan Cooper, award winning Jazz composer and performer Rafael Karlen (with his Quartet), and musical theatre star Kathryn McIntyre (Ladies in Black) who will join Bradley live on stage with new renditions of some of his music, backed by a live ten piece band who move effortlessly between musical theatre, rock, cabaret, gypsy jazz, soul, calypso and even some country.
'I've been writing songs since I was sixteen, and in all different styles... It's always been a hobby of mine. I'd pretend I was writing a song that I'd send to Willie Nelson, and then another to Frank Sinatra, some were great, and some were pretty bad... but I've never stopped writing. It's so exciting to know some of these songs, that have never been heard, will be given life by some of Queensland's finest artists.' Bradley McCaw 2015
